I need to copy over some stuff, and the OS X install on this particular box is recked (not going to boot). To little room on the partion to archive and install.

Try using the OS 9 scripteditor:

tell application "Finder" to open alias "MacHD:usr:"

Otherwise you'll just need to find a tool to make them visible.
