this has come up recently. The gist of it is this: the username from  
which the % variables are expanded is the same that has been  
authenticated by the authentication mechanism. One trick, that I used  
with my system users, in order to keep the domain in the location  
path, is to use the home directory to build it (by concatenation and a  
simple symbolic link).
As you have virtual users, you are even free to set the home to what  
you need for the location path.
