Not sure if this will help, but according to...

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools Help:

Csccmd.exe: Client-Side Caching Command-Line Options,
has the following parameter:

/moveshare: \\server\share1 \\server\share2

that "Remaps the files in the CSC cache on \\server\share1 to
the \\server\share2 location. Use this parameter to migrate
to a new namespace. To move the CSC cache itself between
two locations, use the cachemov tool."

"Moving the Cache
The only way to safely move the hidden system folder
(%systemroot%\CSC) is by using the Offline Files Cache
Mover (Cachemov.exe) tool available on the Windows 2000
Resource Kit companion CD. You can move the cache
database to another location on a fixed disk only.

For more information about using the Offline Files Cache
Mover tool, see Windows 2000 Resource Kit Tools Help
on the Windows 2000 Resource Kit companion CD. "
