Yes, as of right now that's the only way to do it.  You can use the
-outfile_dir command-line flag to condor_submit_dag to change the
directory in which the dagman.out file is created -- maybe that should
also be expanded to affect other files, such as the dagman.log file,
but right now it only affects dagman.out.
