Versions of files don't exist in darcs only patches that change files.

darcs unpull

You can then select the patches you want to back out and the copy of the 
file you desire will be the version you are interested in.

darcs unpull --help

show the '--from-tag=REGEX' and the -t REGEX options.  I've never tried 
but if you specifiy the tag name to this options it may automatically 
select all the patches between then and now.
