Thanks for the response Craig. I noticed that pool and cpool were getting updated over at /var/lib/backuppc also (don't understand why I wasn't getting these link errors before ?!)
So I moved the var/lib/backuppc versions of the pool, cpool, and log directories over to the raid volume and remounted it under /var/lib/backuppc and changed $TopDir back to /var/lib/backuppc in config.pl. I'll report back tomorrow to see if it works. I was/am using 3.0.0 since that is what came with Debian/lenny. I actually selected lenny rather than stable since it was still 2.x in Debian/stable. Thanks again for a great program. Jon S.
