You want to modify this namespace, or add a completely new namespace? I don't think you can add new ones via userdb lookup.. You'll basically have to have a template in the config file first, like:

namespace newspace {
}

Then you can add settings to it via e.g. 'namespace/newspace/location'.

If all users don't have a namespace, you can set the defaults so it's invisible:

namespace newspace {
  list = no
  hidden = yes
}
