Firstly you don't ever want to edit the XML directly under /etc/libvirt,
in this case you want to use virsh pool-edit. See the 2 FAQ questions here:

Easiest way is:
virsh pool-destroy default
virsh pool-edit default
change target to /home/florian/whatever/dir/you/want
save and exit
virsh pool-start default
