Rob,
Do you have a "<project-name>.prj" file in the directory you are 
starting pcb from?
If so, does it have an "elements-dir  /usr/local/pcb-elements" statement?
If so, edit it to where you have the footprints for the project.
Note: <project-name> is the base name of the pcb file.  For example, if 
your board file is "foobar.pcb", then the prj file would be named 
"foobar.prj".

ref: "Getting Started with PCB", section 4.2, "Blinker Board" (page 23).

You might also check your ~/.pcb directory for a configuration file.  
Also, check the ~/.gEDA/gafrc file which may have such a statement in it.

HTH.
