Note that the 194th went north before heading back town to Cairo. I'm not convinced they'd have had the available manpower given their attack on the 84th even if enough barges could be found.
Breaking into the depository could be done given enough time, heavy machinery and explosives. Again, I'm not sure any of those three factors would have been present at the time needed. Simply opening the doors isn't going to happen given the security hardware in place and necessity of codes, etc.
