First, unless you have the very latest version you can't make that kind 
of change after installation or with a distribution-packaged version. 
Instead you have to copy the existing contents of /var/lib/backuppc to 
the new filesystem, then mount or symlink it into the /var/lib/backuppc 
location.   And you are right - the archive directory must support hard 
links and a smb mount won't.
