So did you manage to salvage with pywallet?? If not, next step will be Hex-editor and extract keys manually.

Maybe you have an older version of the archive file?
If you make a copy, then usually in several copies on different carriers,
Can the old version of this file remain on the old laptop or work computer?

Do you still have a copy of the wallet.dat before you ran -salvagewallet? Apparently, salvagewallet can make things worse... so I'd suggest that you start each attempt with a fresh "copy" of the wallet.dat file... and only ever work on the copies 
In any case, your recovery attempt with pywallet seems a little off... as far as I'm aware, you can't run it on a file... only on disk/partition. So, my suggestion is to put the wallet.dat on a "small" USB stick... ideally less that 4GB... then use:
Obviously replace /dev/sdb1 with whatever the actual path to where the USB stick is mounted... I've done this on a Windows box and it was able to recover keys from an encrypted wallet.dat... if you can create a 1GB partition on the disk, even better, it'll reduce the time it spends scanning by quite a bit!
