http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/install/README_2_1_1.html linked
from the Downloads page, under Starting Evergreen, says to just use
"autogen.sh -u". The script automatically figures out where the
configuration file lives these days.

Have you confirmed that the branch names, etc, were actually changed by
checking the database?

-- This will show you what you currently have
SELECT id, shortname, name FROM actor.org_unit;

And you can change the shortnames / long names via regular SQL:

-- This will change the data for BR1 to NEWNAME / "My long new name"
UPDATE actor.org_unit SET shortname = 'NEWNAME', name = 'My long new
name' WHERE shortname = 'BR1';
