Have you considered just changing the chroot to point to your other directory?
We do this on a directory that's grown from "Large" to "Of Biblical
Proportion" in size where we plain ran out of space in /var.
The solution was:
1. Add another virtual disk thanks to the beauty of vmd and
2. Move the chroot to the new disk.
Sounds like your situation is similar?

chroot directory
Set the chroot(2) directory. If not specified, it defaults to
/var/www, the home directory of the www user.
