[Webtest] Unique Directory for reports not possible?

[Troy McGuire]

What I had before, where each test would over-write the previous report, 
was the the following directory structure.  Note, the "canoo_webtest" 
directory is not the one in /usr/local/sbin, it's in a "qa" folder where 
each folder holds the scripts for the tool being used - WebTest in this 
case):

/usr/local/www/customer.com/qa/canoo_webtest/
     -main buildfile, various webtest scripts, keystores, etc-
     webtest-results/
          results.html
          results.xml
          report.css
          showHide.js
          images/
               collapseall.png
               expandall.png
               less.gif
               logo.gif
               more.gif
               ok.gif
               optional.gif
               todo.gif

I remember when I first wrote this script I tried having the 
"results.html" save as "index.html" instead, but then no file was 
created.  I think what I am experiencing now is related somehow.  With 
my current script, I have the following directory structure:
/usr/local/www/customer.com/qa/canoo_webtest/
     -main buildfile, various webtest scripts, keystores, etc-
     webtest-results/
          results.xml
          2006-07-08_15-28-08/
               report.css
               showHide.js
               images/
                    collapseall.png
                    expandall.png
                    less.gif
                    logo.gif
                    more.gif
                    ok.gif
                    optional.gif
                    todo.gif

After Mittie's and Denis' comments/suggestions, I changed my script a 
bit, but nothing has changed (in terms of having a 'results.html' show 
up anywhere, and I'm not sure what's going on with the 'results.xml' 
file being where it is).  I did look in WebTestReport.xsl, but didn't 
see anything obvious, not that I'm guru enough to completely understand 
it; but it appears okay.  Here is my current script, not sure if my 
changes made it better, worse, or are benign.  Any further assistance 
will be greatly appreciated.
