If you open up a XSI shell and type:

xsibatch -r -h

You get this answer.

'-filename              "string": defined the file/path
'                                  for the rendered image.
'                                  Automatically the rendering pass name will
'                                  be appened to filename: c:\foo_<<pass_name>>
'                                  -no_append can be used to prevent this.

So I guess it would be possible to override the output path with a
parameter "-filename". I have no idea of what the code would be, but I
would love if you could share later what you came up with.
