Point New Log Shipping Files to Different Drive

$

I have two databases on a Production Server that I want to Log Ship to a Test Server.  According to the sys.master files the physical File Location is on an E drive. Early attempts at Log Shipping these two files error'd out due to space issues on the E drive (one Log Shipped and then one err'd out).  I was subsequently informed from the server group that they would prefer that I Log Ship these two database files over to the M Drive where more space is available.  In fact, they modified the Server Properties / Database Settings / Database Default Locations (for Data and Log) to the larger M drive (I'm not really sure why they just don't increase the E drive space but there is proabably a good reason).

Okay, so now my problems have been solved.  Easy enough.  Now I deleted the successful Log Shipped database and started from scratch.  However, as before, one db restored and one failed (due to space issues).  Apparently, both db are pointing towards the E drive.  How is that possible?  I'm hoping that someone can share their knowledge on the subject.

So here I am with one successful database and the normal sys databases pointing to the E drive.  What is the best way of approaching this  move to the larger and preferred M drive?
