I was trying to help out Kayser Sose and found a solution that is really working. The Python script throws errors. Erica Sadun again has the tool, it's called mdhelper.
What you need is one of the folders with tons of numbers as the name, it's inside
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Place mdhelper in it and run e.g. ./mdhelper -C .jpg
The tool will then extract all Jpegs and place it on the Desktop in a folder called "Recovered iPhone Files".
You cant run the tool just on the .mdbackup files cause they are semi-encrypted. The information how to extract and de-crypt is sitting inside the file Manifest.plist thats in the folder aswell. For navigating the presence of Info.plist is necessary aswell.

[Edited June 30] It is even easier: Just download, unpack and place mdhelper on the desktop. Start application Terminal and change directory with
cd Desktop/
then let mdhelper do its job with
./mdhelper -C .jpg
The programm looks inside ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ for the backup folders and extracts the files [End Edit June 30]

Wow, again this is a great tool from Erica! I just ran that on my backups, extracted all pics in about a minute.
Forgot the download address:
http://ericasadun.com/ftp/Macintosh/...-universal.zip
One more: If you use ./mdhelper -C .sqlitedb you will get back all your Addressbook and Calendar data, .plist for bookmarks and map bookmarks, .db for sms and notes... ;-)
Hope that helps,
