Ran "bitcoin-qt -salvagewallet -rescan", but I get "Cannot initialize keypool" error message. Tried several times. Found no helpful information by googling it...
I doubt that those two are meant to be used simultaneously. Try just -salvagewallet

Dumped all the backups of all the wallets looking for "1PyDNpaHGaAxazG13Xa7sESVeQbympLrHw", no luck. Last backup of wallet #2 (last before sending and loosing the BTC) has among other stuff the following worrisome contents:
... "keys": [], ... "pool": [], ...
-salvagewallet even without -rescan causes client to "rescanning" and then fails with "Cannot initialize keypool".
Any more tips what I should be looking for in the files?

Last backup of wallet #2 (last before sending and loosing the BTC) has among other stuff the following worrisome contents: Just to eliminate any remaining possibilities, have you tried extracting the keys for wallet #2 using pywallet, rather than with the bitcoin.org client? - https://github.com/joric/pywalletUse -password= for an encrypted wallet.

Yea it shouldn't work without password I guess.... I `tried with v1.1 of pywallet.... Didn't manage to figure out how to download it from the link you gave. Found a version on http://www.antepedia.com/detail/p/210922838.html;jsessionid=8515700B97FC021E6B8E3A6ADA00D674 and just copied the pywallet.py file to my dir. It was stilll reporting v1.1 however, tried running both update.bat and install.bat after the copy was made. Know how to do it?

Wasn't very clear there I can see.
I successfully installed and was running v1.1. To upgrade to v1.2 (which supports passwords) I simply replaced the pywallet.py file.
Didn't work, still reporting v1.1.... and this is where I am confused.

Download and save (e.g., in C:\Temp): - https://raw.github.com/joric/pywallet/master/pywallet.pyThen in the directory that you saved that script, run: C:\> cd C:\Temp C:\Temp> python .\pywallet.py --version pywallet.py 1.2 You are saying you get v1.1?

Did just that... didn't work.
Rebooted the computer and me, and know it works :-)
OK, I get a bunch of:
"addr": "--------------------------------------", "reserve": 1, "sec": "---------------------------------------------------------"
where - is blanked out typical bitcoin address signs
I guess it is in the addr field I should be searching, right?

Yup. If 1PyDNpaHGaAxazG13Xa7sESVeQbympLrHw is in there, you can take the corresponding private key over to another wallet or client and import it there and you'll have access to the funds.
