What version are you running?  I thought that before 3.2 you had to 
either reinstall from the sourceforge tarball (where a part of the 
install script lets you set the archive location where you want it) or 
you had to either mount or symlink a new partition into the old location 
(/var/lib/backuppc, for distribution-packaged versions).  There are some 
instructions for that here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Change_archive_directory

But I also thought that if you failed to do that, you would get an error 
message about not being able to make the links to the pool (except in 
very old versions).
