You don't really have to change the vps-project-dir. It just the
location of the cached filelists, tags files, etc.

But it should be OK to change it.

Whenever I see "not a valid tags table" it is because I have generated
a TAGS file in a format that emacs does not understand.

So maybe you managed to build TAGS files with Exhuberant tags(*)
(without the -e option) when vps-project-dir had the first value,
changed vps-project-dir and then you did something that generates
proper emacs tags files.

If you the delete  ~/.emacs.d/.emacs_vps and set vps-project-dir to
~/.emacs.d/.emacs_vps again it would probably work. But if it works
there is not much gained in changing anything.
