The FREEVO_LOGDIR controls the path to the log files, the defaults are the environment variable FREEVO_LOGDIR and if not set then /var/log/freevo and if this fails then ~/.freevo/log. The only way to set this to /var/lib/freevo is to add the variable FREEVO_LOGDIR to the local_conf.py. I guess that this is a typo and you meant /var/log/freevo, which will happen if you run freevo once as root.
