If you're running Exchange 5.5, you can use the Optmizer utility to modify
the locations. Beware that it may take a while because the logs need to be
copied to the new location (and that the stores will be down while this
takes place).

On newer versions of Exchange, you can find instructions in this article:
270694 XADM: How to Change Log (.log) File, Temporary (.tmp) File, and
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=270694

I hope this helps.
