/sbbs/data/subs is where message base files are
/sbbs/data/dirs is where your files are.
In SCFG->Message Areas > Fidonet (example) -> Manage Sub-boards
Pick your first board -> Advanced options
In there I have Storage Directory set to ../data/subs/fidonet/
So all my fidonet message boards are in ../data/subs/fidonet
So this is what it looks like
bbs@bbs:~$ ls -l /sbbs/data/subs
total 612

It's pretty clean and easy to maintain. Now, I would shut my board down then move your existing files into the new groups, then run scfg to change the location then startup sbbs, otherwise you'll create a load of blank files.
