A small typo. The file actually is: /etc/xdg/brltty/brltty.conf

Brltty looks in the /etc/xdg/brltty/ directory for all override files.

I'd just like to emphasize - and I'm sure Mario would agree - that, while this 
is the precise answer to your question, it's probably not what you really want 
to do, and it's really a very bad idea. I'm quite sure that - as Mario stated 
earlier - what you probably really want to do is define your settings in 
/etc/xdg/brltty/brltty.conf.
