We'll start with the fact that you can't just change TopDir and expect
everything to work (it won't, see the archives for details) -- but you can
put it back the way it was and create a symbolic link from
/var/lib/backuppc to wherever you want the files to be.

Given that, you're unlikely to be correct about BackupPC being started
before your hard drive is mounted, especially since the error is pretty
clear about where it's looking for the directory.
