Alex Hey Jerome,
The best option is to precreate the databases before running the stsadm command. make sure the dbs are empty and have the correct collation.
the opther option is to create them on the fly, then detach, move and reattach the database.

Is-it possible to specify at the creation of a new collection site database the location of the content database files ? For instance, I would like to create 2 Collection Sites on the same SQL Server. But for the first one, content database files have to be on drive X, and for the second one, content database file have to be on drive Y. Thanks a lot for your help. Just one question.

If you create a new content database, it has 0 sites. The next site collection you create will go there. If you have 3 sites in one DB and 1 in another, the next site created will go into the DB with 1 (making it 3-2). The other rule that applies, if you have 3-0-0 for sites in 3 DBs, the oldest DB with 0 will get the next site. No need for stsadm if you plan ahead.
