The easiest way is to just mount your USB drive at /var/lib/backuppc/.
No bind mount neccessary, that way.
Bind-Mounting should work like this in /etc/fstab:
/data/bilbo/backup /var/lib/backuppc/ none bind 0 0

You would also have to patch BackupPC/Lib.pm if I remember correctly.
Which is not a Good Thing(tm) if you installed some RPMs.
