The route must be changed in app/etc/local.xml.

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <args>
                <frontName>your-new-backend-route</frontName>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

After adding that to your app/etc/local.xml file, clear the cache and check if your admin is now available at http://www.your-shop.com/your-new-backend-route instead of http://www.your-shop.com/admin.

To avoid that problem, simply add the custom options to your modules config.xml, like this:

<global>
    <sales>
        <quote>
            <item>
                <product_attributes>
                    <custom_product_attribute1/>
                    <custom_product_attribute2/>
                </product_attributes>
