What is the actual error message that you get? Can't you specify /etc/postgresql/9.0/main/ as the cluster directory, and pgadmin will then see the "datadir = /var/lib/..." in postgresql.conf? > If this change is a problem with security or file policy, It's not a "problem", it's how configuration and data files should be laid out in an Unix system.

For updating the documentation I need more information what the actual error message is, and what you did in pgadmin.
