The --url argument give the URL corresponding to the start directory,
so you want: --url /E-prints

The indexer should notice the URLs have changed, but it'll be a bit
faster if you add "--overwrite" the first time you rerun this, so that
it starts from scratch.

Incidentally, it's better not to run things as root if you can avoid it,
so I'd remove the sudo here and set the permissions on
/var/lib/xapian-omega/data/ suitably.  If the indexer gets run as user
"fred" then you can do that with:

chown -R fred /var/lib/xapian-omega/data
