	This might be better posted to the VPS2 list, but here is part
of our "new account" script if it helps. 
~/skel/default_htdocs/www/htdocs/ is a folder created ahead of time
under /root.

=====
#!/bin/csh

set u=""
while ("$u" == "")
  echo -n "Enter the new account's username: "
  set u=$<
end
if ("$u" == "") exit

echo -n "Enter the new account's domain [$u.com]: "
set d=$<
if ("$d" == "") set d="$u.com"

echo "Creating folders..."
mkdir "/home/$u/www" || echo "Couldn't create /home/$u/www!" && exit
mkdir "/home/$u/www/htdocs" || echo "Couldn't create /home/$u/www/htdocs!" && exit

echo "Copying default site files..."
cp ~/skel/default_htdocs/www/htdocs/* "/home/$u/www/htdocs" || echo "Error copying files!" && exit

echo "Changing permissions..."
chown -h -R "$u" "/home/$u/www" || echo "Couldn't change ownership of contents of /home/$u/www!" && exit
chown -h -R :www "/home/$u/www" || echo "Couldn't change ownership of contents of /home/$u/www!" && exit
chmod o= "/home/$u/www" || echo "Couldn't change permissions of /home/$u/www!" && exit
=====

	One hangup for you might have been that I had to put the chown's
on two lines as I couldn't get the script to substitute correctly for
"$u:www" on one line.
