Why don't you just replace this whole line:

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

... with a shell script and pass the vars to it:

preexec = /some/path/mkdirs %U

In that script, do whatever you want.

I did that a *long* time ago and actually used a Perl script instead
of /bin/sh.  It gives you unbelievable flexability.
