Sure. Go to SERVER MANAGER --> PROPERTIES --> REPLICATION and change the path to the directory that you wish to import/export. Make sure you remember to perform this action on Import and Export computers. That's it... (assuming that the other steps in the replication process have already been performed correctly).

Perhaps instead of using the Directory Replication service in NT --- I've heard people say it can be quite an 'overhead' on a large WAN --- you might want to consider using Robocopy. This means Robust File Copy, and is a tool from the NT Resource Kit. It can keep dirs in synch, and it can be scheduled to run however frequently you want. I have a script which I could show you which keeps two servers in synch -- one is in Reading the other in our corporate headquarters in Cambridge MA.
