There are some differences between 2.x and 3.x in these
files, but it shouldn't cause the problem you have.

The installations should be independent and co-exist.

It sounds like you followed the right steps. Your 2.x installation
should keep everything in four places:
- /usr/local/BackupPC
- TOPDIR
- CGI, css, icons
- /etc/init.d/backuppc
Your 3.x installation, by default, will use FHS and puts things in
these places:
- /usr/local/BackupPC-usb
- TOPDIR-usb
- CGI, css, icons
- /var/log/BackupPC
- /etc/BackupPC
- /etc/init.d/backuppc-usb

I can't see the part that's wrong.
There is one other place there can be a collision: $Conf{ServerPort}
is normally set to -1 (ok), but if you use that feature you have
to choose different TCP ports for each configuration.
Provided all these locations are non-overlapping then they should
co-exist correctly.
