Well, it looks like running Backuppc_link went and cleaned everything up.
I did get a bunch of:
log BackupPC_link got error -3 when calling MakeFileLink(..)
errors, but the files its complaining about seem to exist, so I think it went fine.

Ahh, what you suggested is exactly the problem. I moved the backup location to /mnt/backupfs. I've editing Lib.pm to the correct path now. Do you know if there's anything I need to do to fix up the existing backups?

Hmm, I see no errors in the backup logs, but I see this in the server log file:

2010-03-06 02:03:34 Running BackupPC_link z-drive-daily (pid=24405)
2010-03-06 02:03:34 z-drive-daily: mkdir /var/lib/backuppc/cpool/e: Permission denied at /usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm line 899
Probably indicative of the problem?

Did you move the archive directory after installing?  Are your backup logs full
of 'link error' entries?
