Moving of $TopDir is an critical task. There are a lot of threads about 
this.
Much easier is to mount your NAS into /var/lib/backuppc.
However - you are sure the status page always displays
...
The servers PID is 15721, on host rabbit, version 3.1.0, started at 4/4
13:49.

      * This status was generated at 5/9 20:38.
...
If so, try restart backuppc or restart your server.

This is what it says today:

The servers PID is 15721, on host rabbit, version 3.1.0, started at 4/4 13:49.

This status was generated at 5/15 15:42.

The configuration was last loaded at 4/8 18:32.

PCs will be next queued at 5/15 16:00.

and this is what it says after restarting backuppc:

The servers PID is 21954, on host rabbit, version 3.1.0, started at 5/15 15:44.

This status was generated at 5/15 15:44.

The configuration was last loaded at 5/15 15:44.

PCs will be next queued at 5/15 16:00.

I take it though, that it's simply just better to mount the NAS under /var/lib/backuppc?
