Then try this do:
  aspell --lang=en dump config

Than at the value of the following settings:
  home-dir
  personal

It should tell the the exact value when configured for the English 
language.  If that doesn't help than I really don't know where Aspell is 
storing them.  It could be that it is really Hunspell that is being used, 
in which case I can not help you.
