I agree - almost every "newbie" that picks up BackupPC makes this
mistake - the more experienced you are with old-school config files
the MORE likely you are to assume changing this is all you need to do.
 A note in the docs and/or a link to the "how to change your TOP DIR"
page would fix a huge percentage of installation failures.

Or just fixing it so changing the config file IS all you have to do :)
