You can't change the location in the config in pre-packaged versions. 
There have been about a million discussions on this list about that 
issue.  If you get the original package from sourceforge and install 
yourself, you have a chance to pick the location.  In the RPM and deb 
packaged versions included in distributions, someone has already made 
that choice and you can't change it.

Or failing... The older version just didn't test.  You'll end up with 
working backup copies but no pooling if the links don't work so it 
wastes a lot of space.
