can't figure out an one-liner

[Toomas Aas]

Hello!
I have a directory structure like this
/home
        /joe
        /peter
        /bill
        ... etc
I'm trying to move some (but not all) subdirectories of /home to 
/newhome, using tar. I'm doing this as root on FreeBSD 4.10, the shell 
is csh. I'd like to get it done with one command line.

I'm trying variations of this command
# pwd
/newhome
# for luser in 'joe peter bill'  { tar cf - -C /home $luser | tar xf - }
... but I keep getting error messages that luser is undefined.
What am I doing wrong?
