A tip I got from Sascha some time back: set up a midi command for 
"next instrument", in the EXS preferences.  In the EXS load the 1st 
instrument in your instrument list.  In Logic create a short sequence 
that contains the 'next instr' command just once and assign the track 
to an EXS instance.  Set the sequence to loop (or enable cycle), and 
press play -- and go and have a long, long coffee break.
The EXS will load all instruments in turn, updating the .exs files 
(re: location of the samples) in the process.  Can take a few hours 
though, if you have many instrument, so you might wwant to do this 
overnight, or while watching a movie or so.
