I had remembered looking this up and thought I would share my finding with
you:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5558785/maven-release-plugin-git-and-the
-poms-not-at-the-top
Basically theres a
<configuration>
<pomFileName>subdir/pom.xml</pomFileName>
</configuration>
That you need to define as part of your plugin definition.
Thanks,
