Yes, it's the --command option

You could always consider using the raspberry pi to run get-iplayer -
I find it easier to write bash scripts than windows powershell or
command scripts...  but that might be a matter of taste.
(https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/raspbian ought to
work with raspbmc, but I haven't tried.)

another message mentioned creating an xbmc metadata file - get-iplayer
can already do this:
--metadata xbmc
works well enough with xbmc for me.
get-iplayer can also create folder structures to put things in the
right place (though I concede that might not work for you, because as
you note it doesn't seem to like downloading to network drives)

a few options that work for tv programmes with xbmc for me include:
--subdirformat <nameshort>/Series_<seriesnum>
--subdir
--fileprefix s<seriesnum>e<episodenum>_<episode>
--metadata xbmc
