Hi,

MapGuide generates the KML dynamically, and does not store it to disk.  You could potentially intercept it in a script and save it to disk, but it's all based on the user's current view, so it might not be too useful.

I think you have a couple options.  First, you could write a simple PHP script that establishes a session and then does a redirect to the MapAgent link with the Session ID attached.  It'd look something like this:

&SESSION=9ee8c298-ffff-ffff-8001-00e02983d68a_en

Another option would be to just use an unpriveledged user in the MapAgent link:

&USERNAME=Anonymous&PASSWORD=

I hope that at some point we can add the same kind of built-in userid and password along with a "published" flag like we have for WMS and WFS services.  As it stands, the user has really limited ability to keep the link to a MapGuide site in their Google Earth menu.  Even with the embedded username and password, a SESSION is generated and embedded in the Layer and Features calls.
