First of all, which Nutch version do you use?
In fact, this issue is solved in the current version (nutch-0.7-dev).
(see http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-32)

Still to resolve: How can I tell nutch where to look for the indexed

Take a look at the "searcher.dir" property in conf/nutch-default.xml
