The path to my config file is set using NOTMUCH_CONFIG.

My database is ~/mail/.notmuch, which upon further inspection I'm not
actually explicitly configuring anywhere, so I suppose it's falling back
to that after checking that there's nothing in $XDG_DATA_HOME/notmuch.

My XDG_DATA_HOME is /home/qyliss/state btw, which explains why it's
looking there.

This didn't make a difference.
