you may have a syntax error in this '[' (test) command.  make sure there
is a space before the closing ']'.

you can put multiple shell commands separated by semicolons in a preexec,
so you should be able to use something like:

preexec = if [ ! -e /home/%U/dir1 ] then /bin/mkdir /home/%U/dir1; fi;
if [ ! -e /home/%U/dir2 ] then /bin/mkdir /home/%U/dir2; fi 

alternatively:

preexec = [ ! -e /home/%U/dir1 ] && /bin/mkdir /home/%U/dir1;
[ ! -e /home/%U/dir2 ] && /bin/mkdir /home/%U/dir2;
