We're working hard right now to improve the docs so I hope your struggle
with not be in vain.

That's right -- or you could install the python package: pip install
ckanext-storage. I apologize for leaving that out of the installation
instructions -- it was such an obvious step I'd forgotten about it!

You don't want to move them -- leave them in the original location.

I am missing something ?

I think you should not move the templates.

I've just responded to a similar question here:

<http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2011-May/001279.html>

Basic answer: you can configure this differently but we'll need to make some
minor changes to support uploading to local file storage via CKAN.
