Instead of creating the home directory as part of a batch job you might
think of having the OS take care of it only when required.
Under linux you might think of updating
/etc/pam.d/system-auth and add this line:
session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022
The users home directory will get created on the 1st login.
