Yes, if $FSVS_CONF is different it won't match.
But do you use anything else than /etc/fsvs? Oh yes, you said you're versioning
your
/home. Do you commit as user, or are these backups started per cron as root?
You could try to do "chown <user> /etc/fsvs/<wc-dir>", and use a per-user WAA.

I'd try to use a symlink rather than a hardlink.
I can't quite follow your setup or requirements - but might it be an idea to
use a dummy
"ignore" file that has an update- and commit-pipe set, eg. to "cat
$FSVS_CONF/xx/Ign"?

Versioning your /etc, /home or even your whole installation?
Try fsvs (fsvs.tigris.org)!
