I set up a form for each subdirectory
which parses the log file pulling information for that directory only
in dacota.cfg
DIRINCLUDE /dacotah
REQEXCLUDE /*.*
REQINCLUDE /dacotah/*.html,/dacotah/
PAGEINCLUDE /dacotah/*.html,/dacotah/
FILEINCLUDE /dacotah/*.html,/dacotah/
the form dacotah.html is then password protected for that clients eyes
only.. and wallah individualized data results...
couldn't this be done for directories under say dacotah as well?...

No, you can't do that. You can't really stop people processing anything that
they can read at all. In any case, it doesn't reduce the load on the server
all that much, in terms of CPU time. The whole logfile still has to be read
and parsed. (You do save on RAM though).
