       Is there a method of outputting / dumping the data into .xml format as part of the scripts / crons/ db processes?

It depends on your requirements of the xml file format.
psql can output data in html/xhtml format (--html switch), which might or might not be enough for you.

$ psql --html -c "select * from atable" adb > myfile.xhtml.part

"query_to_xml" generates a proper xml version of the query results.

       As I am fairly new to postgresql I am trying to find some more info regarding options to dump specific data to files. 


     However, even though I can get the sql query,etc... how will I use this to dump the data into the relevant files?
 
You can use the "\copy" command in psql to export the result of query into a file. For example:
 
> psql -c "\\copy (select * from atable) to 'myfile.csv' with delimiter as ',' csv header" adb
 
will copy all rows from "atable" in "adb" to "myfile.csv" in csv format.
