The patch is here:

   http://www.langille.org/tmp/bacula-configure-archivedir

The doc change I have ready is:

+\item [ {-}{-}archivedir=\lt{}path\gt{} ]
+   \index[general]{{-}{-}archivedir}
+   The directory used for disk-based backups.  Default value is 
/tmp.
+   This parameter affects values in the bacula-dir.conf and bacula-
sd.conf
+   configuration files.  For example, it sets the Where directive 
for the
+   default restore job and the Archive Device directive for the 
FileStorage
+   device.
+

I wanted to ensure the users know that archivedir merely specifies 
the default value in the run-time configuration files and that it is 
not something hardwired at config time.   I think I'll have something 
better after I get my coffee.
