Those paths are almost certainly to be found in what is now
/home/bttth/.pan2/servers.xml (but was previously btth...)

That's an xml-based file, so be careful when editing it not to disturb 
the format, but you should be fine if you simply search and replace for 
btth, adding the extra "t" to make it bttth, and make no other changes.
