We should bear in mind that A.R. Orage was the primary force behind the
introduction of the philosophy of Nietzsche in England. Wallace Martin's
book on Orage provides a good background.
Might one suggest that Neo-Nietzschean scans better?
I found Lindberg useful on articulating the debate between Pound and Eliot
in the '30s.

Charles:
Another important reference to Pound and Nietzsche is Chapter 3 of Leon
Surette's book "Birth of Modernism". It is entitled "Nietzsche, Wagner and
Myth". Surette deals with Nietzsche in a straight forward
non-deconstructionist way.
If you prefer the tortures of deconstruction there is Lindberg's book
"Reading Pound Reading". I believe she was a student or associate of
Riddel.
Where Surette is direct and easy to understand Lindberg is not. So far I
have only been able to scan through her book and have not studied it in
depth. Her book may contain nuggets I have just not been capable of mining.
