I have a Time Machine but cannot access its backups.

I have an Airport Extreme Time Capsule which I used to backup a 24" iMac, particularly a large iPhoto library. I brought that Time Capsule with me to China to provide an external HD to my MacBook Pro so I'd have access to my photos. But when I connected the Airport (and disabled its wireless features, choosing to only use the HD backup feature) and archived the contents to another external HD as instructed, I found that I can't open anything that was archived. It took 14 hours to transfer 640GB, so something must have been transferred - but I'm told there's a sparsebundle and I don't have permission to access it. What's the point in having automatic backups if I can't access them when needed ? Can I do something different that would allow me to access the Time Machine from my MacBook Pro ???
