I don't see any other message yet, but the way to get it right is to
just mount the partition you want to use for storage in the place
where backuppc wants it (should be /var/lib/backuppc with the deb
package).  Or put a symlink there pointing to the location you want.
If you do this before the install, everything should land in the right
place and get the right permissions.   The critical things are that
the pool/cpool/pc directories must all be in the same filesystem so
hardlinks can work and with versions before 3.2 you can't change the
TOPDIR location after the initial setup which is already done in the
deb and rpm packaged versions.   Usually if you get these wrong, you
get an error when starting the service about not being able to make a
hard link so I'm not quite sure what is happening.
