Brass, One option that you might pursue is creating a simple Console application wrapper around the XmlReader class in the .NET class library. This object is capable of validating an XML document or fragment against one or more schema URLs. The documentation for this class contains several examples which could easily be adapted to your needs. There are also examples in the File and Directory classes for recursing through a directory tree.
Granted, it's a bit more work, but with a few hours of programming, you could create a custom application that will recurse through a directory tree and perform the validation according to your specifications. I'd also recommend looking at the Plossom command line toolkit--it makes quick work of adding command line options to utility console applications. I've created a number of command line utilities to tackle similar tasks to what you describe. Depending on the application, I've often found that it takes less time to write a custom utility using Plossum and the .NET class library than it does to fight with poorly designed or documented shareware. You then have the option of customizing and optimizing to your specific needs. If you're interested, let me know--I have some C# code snippets that might be useful. One other option to consider is the Microsoft utility XmlDiffPatch. I'm not sure if you can bend to do validation only, but it's powerful tool.
