Ok, I finally just mounted the new storage volume on /var/lib/backuppc 
and moved the pool files etc to the new disk. This worked but I now have 
an old problem with rsyncd.

Attempts to run a backup on localhost gives "Error connecting to module 
'/' at localhost 837: Unknown module '/' ". I assume that this is a 
mistake in the RsyncShareName (path in rsyncd.conf's backuppc module) . 
The man page states "path - This parameter specifies the directory in 
the daemon’s filesystem to make available in this module. This statement 
has been copied verbatim in every instruction I can fine. I have no idea 
what that means. What is meant by the daemon's file system and what is 
meant by make available in this module. A plain '/' sure doesn't '/' 
work. Could someone reword this statement so that I might have a chance 
of understanding it. This is as bad as the last course I took in math 
analysis.

You know, the GUI is great but there are a couple of items in the setup 
that just keep causing me no end of grief. After i;ve been away from 
this package for a while I seem to have to go through the same painful 
steps. I wish someone would clarify the setup for rsyncd and find an 
easy method of transfering the pool files.
