Hi Joel
The following was posted to me by Ryan Winland when I
asked the same question a few months ago - Hope it's what
you're after.

Hi
Those files are located in %windir%\CSC (hidden folder).
Offline Files Database
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/resk
it/prde_ffs_ludh.asp
To move it, you should use the tool cachemov.exe from the
Win2k resource kit
(you need to buy it). Here is an applicable paragraph
from MS TechNet:
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 Windows2000 Resource Kit companion CD. You can move
the cache
database to another location on a fixed disk only.

Here is a workaround if you don't have the cachemov
utility:

Hello:
The Resource Kit is not required to relocate the Client
Side Cache folder.
If your Windows 2000 (or XP) partition is NTFS, try
something like this:
1) Boot into Safe Mode and delete the contents of the CSC
folder.
2) While still in Safe Mode, create a reparse point
(junction) in the
%SystemRoot%\CSC folder and point it toward another
partition or a folder in
another partition. Use the Logical Disk Manager (Computer
Management\Storage\Disk Management) to mount a partition
or SysInternals
Junction
(http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junct
ion) to
mount a folder.
This works in Windows 2000, and should in Windows XP (I
haven't tested it,
however).
Hope this helps.
