Under the current contract he should only be entitled to those finished files that are approved for direct use on the finished product. Any prep files, pre-production files, non-presentable layered files or anything else is exclusively your property. Even then your client only has rights to use not toal ownership unless he negotiated ownership up front.
So I would explain to him that you would be happy to sell him the archive of preparatory work for the project but you need to ensure he agrees only to use the archive on the project in question so that he can't extraploate things for use on other projects entirely unrelated to the one you created the work for.
