Not sure what might have gone wrong. There should be a 
customisation group 'ebib' (M-x customize-group RET ebib RET) and 
a number of subgroups.

The menu only appears when Ebib is active, perhaps that's 
confusing you?

Otherwise all I can suggest is to uninstall and reinstall Ebib, 
and carefully check the output of the reinstallation (or post it 
here).

You can simply use `setq':

    (setq ebib-preload-bib-files '("/path/to/file1.bib" 
    "/path/to/file2.bib"))

Note the single quote before the list of paths and the lack of a 
comma between the paths.
