The files directory should be under where Drupal is installed. Vis, at the same level as the sites, database, modules, and themes directories.
(I think you're supposed to be able to get it to work inside a site/something/ directory, but I've never actually gotten it to work. <g>)
Oh, so it isn't just me to find it just natural that, as you can/ should have per site settings, themes, etc... you should also have separate "files" folders...
So, is this some bug that keeps being ignored in Drupal development, or is it only thoroughly undocumented? Is there really no way to have separate files folders, one for each virtual site?
Thanks, D.

I set the files folder in the settings.php file thus:-
$conf = array( 'file_directory_path' => 'files/www.example.com' );
so it can't be changed by a site admin

You can have separate files just fine. You still have to point admin/settings, however, to the right location ("sites/sitename.com/files", for example.
