of course you haave to kill all running mt-daapd processes before you attempt to relocate that file.

ps aux|grep daap

tells you the PID of the culprit process.
kill it off with

kill -9 $PID

where $PID is the PID (number) from the ps output.

then you can safely move everything to the HD, with mv.

mv * /share/hdd/data/public/.mt-daapd

for example. Of course you have to create the target directory prior to that.
Then just fire up your favorite text editor and make sure the db_dir reflects the new location, and you’re good to go.
