If your home is always prefixed by the same lengthed string, cur the 
user-uuid:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables
"You can take a substring of the variable by giving optional offset 
followed by '.' and width after the '%' character. For example %2u gives 
first two characters of the username. %2.1u gives third character of the 
username. "

You could get somewhere, if you rewrite the login user by user-uuid, then 
%u is the user's uuid.

Is the checkpassword tool called for the users in a shared namespace??? 
This would cost lots of peformance, because you need to call that script 
for each user, the current user gets shares from.

But if so, return MAIL:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword
"Dovecot Extensions

If you wish to return extra fields for Dovecot, set them in environment 
variables and then list them in EXTRA environment variable. The userdb 
extra fields can be returned by prefixing them with userdb_. For example:
