The official sitemap protocol says it should be located at the root URL that all the files it points to share in common. So if the URLs in your sitemap are like http://www.example.com/site/image1.jpg and http://www.example.com/site/mypage.html, you could put the sitemap.xml file either in http://www.example.com/site/sitemap.xml or http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml.
If you are unable to put a sitemap in that directory for whatever reason, you can put it anywhere on your server as long as your .htaccess or ISAPI Rewrite (or any other URL rewriter) can "pretend" that it's at the root. I've done that successfully using ISAPI Rewrite on an ASP site.
I have not used that tool so I do not know the direct answer to your question. However, if you can't find a way to put the files elsewhere, you can just copy them to a different folder like this:
cp -t sitemaps/ *.xml
Where sitemaps is the folder name and *.xml selects all the input files, assuming they have a .xml extension. You can create a batch script that runs the sitemap generator and then copies the files, all in one.
Although the official protocol says sitemaps should be in the root, in reality they can go anywhere on the same domain (I have put them in their own sitemaps folder before, with no problems).
You should also create a sitemap index file if you have a lot of sitemaps. This way you only need to submit the index file to each webmaster tools.
The Google Sitemap Generator for IIS generates a sitemaps based on actual HTTP requests to your server (unlike other sitemap generators that rely on a crawlable path from the homepage, Google's approach doesn't actually crawl your site).
It is uniquely suited to dynamic applications, particularly those that have a deep bank of data that's surfaced through user queries alone.
I have personally used Google's sitemapgen, a Python script, which automatically generates the sitemap according to an XML configuration file and a url list.
There also seems to be a newer tool called googlesitemapgenerator, which according to its website is newer and supports more formats:
Google previously released sitemapgen, a Python-based tool, to Sourceforge. In comparison to sitemapgen, Google Sitemap Generator is a next-generation tool that relies on web server filtering rather than crawling, provides enhanced features, and supports more formats.
