Excellent! Sounds like you've got it all working right now. Good job! 
When you see a file with a tilde at the end, that is just a backup copy. You can keep or delete it -- it's up to you. Sometimes the text editor may have it set under its preferences to save a backup copy of files that get edited. Maybe either gedit or leafpad has that set right now (probably gedit). You can disable that by just unchecking that preference.
Nothing wrong with installing gedit -- it's just another text editor with a few more features than leafpad. You can keep and use both of them on the system -- they won't conflict with each other.
EDIT: I just thought of something that I forgot to ask you before. Did you have any Virtual Machines created in VirtualBox before you bound the "VirtualBox_VMs" folder to the DATA partition? If you did, you won't be able to see those anymore. They will still exist, but you won't be able to access them with the bind in effect. I can give you instructions on how to find them and transfer them to the DATA partition if you run into that problem. Let me know if you need to do that.

I appear to have ownership by 'root' but, the file seems to have been duplicated, the difference being the tilde symbol following the second entry (see below). Should the second entry be deleted. How should I do this??
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 864 Aug 25 05:56 bind-home.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 864 Aug 25 05:49 bind-home.conf~
