You will have to use the following:

<clientStateStorePath>\\server\xmlocation</clientStateStorePath>

If your WPKG root folder is something like \\server\wpkgroot then you need the following:

<wpkgBaseDir>\\server\wpkgroot</wpkgBaseDir>

I have the wpkg-create-report folder located under tools\3rd-party and since I have a testing and a production installation, I use the following batch script to call createreport.js:

Rem---code start (watch for line wraps)
@rem
@echo off

set BaseDir=%~dp0..\..\..

echo.
echo Deleting Setup Hosts ...
echo.
for %%F in ( "%BaseDir%\status\*_setup.xml" ) do del /f /q "%%~F" && echo Deleted "%%~F" ...

echo.
echo Creating Full Report ...
title Creating Full Report ...
echo.
cscript.exe -Nologo createReport.js -wpkgBaseDir:"%BaseDir%" -clientStateStorePath:"%BaseDir%\status"

echo.
echo.
echo Creating Report of Hosts needing Changes ...
title Creating Report of Hosts needing Changes ...
echo.
cscript.exe -Nologo createReport.js -wpkgBaseDir:"%BaseDir%" -clientStateStorePath:"%BaseDir%\status" -outputFile:"Client Status Report.[ext]" -packageStateFilter:"install;upgrade;downgrade;remove"

echo.
pause
Rem--code end
