If you put the rewrite rules in the main server configuration rather
than an htaccess file, you don't have to worry about them being run
multiple times, so you can drop the user_ prefix and condition. You
don't need to condition on %{REMOTE_USER} either because rewrite rules
don't run until after the user gains authorization. The rule I gave
earlier (updated for your directory name) should just work:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /var/www/accesstest/%{REMOTE_USER}/$1
