Ummm, the idea is to create /var/lib/backuppc as a symlink pointing to 
wherever the storage really is (after renaming the original 
/var/lib/backuppc and copying any existing data you need to retain to 
the new location).   So that command is backwards.

I'm not sure how I missed your post, but I did.  No wonder things won't work.  
I had a funny feeling it was wrong, and no-one had mentioned altering the 
original file. Back to the drawing board to have another go :-)
There should be some guidelines for this somewhere - I certainly haven't found 
any.

Thanks for the info.
