save .trace file to a different location

Question

I'm running instruments from command line. In my command, i did specified the output path using

-e UIARESULTSPATH /user/xxxx

However, the files saved to the location above are plist liles. the .trace (ie. instrumentscli14.trace) files are automatically saved to the folder i save my scripts.

Do anyone know is there a way to save the .trace files to a custom location?

Thanks!
