Yes. It's called BULDACCT. :-) If you do :BULDACCT %HELP and page down a bit
you should see:

> **** THE POSIX UPGRADE SUMMARY ****
>
>   This version of BULDACCT has been upgraded to work with POSIX
> hierarchical directory structures. As with accounts, groups, and
> users, the hierarchical directory information will be written to
> BULDJOB1. BULDJOB1 will contain the commands used to recreate
> hierarchical directories and the ACDs associated with each of them.
> Items 6, 7, and 8 of the help text will describe the new POSIX
> options %NODIRS, %ROOT and %NOROOT.

> system version that does not support POSIX. In a case such as
> this, buldacct is "smart" enought to not look for any hierarchical
> directories. Accounts, groups and user commands ONLY will be
> written to BULDJOB1.
>
> -  POSIX compatible BULDACCT will default to automatically saving
> all accounts, groups, users, hierarchical directories and the ACDs
> associated with the hierarchical directories.
>
> -  When BULDACCT is processing individual accounts or a subset of
> "all accounts" ("@"); all hierarchical directories directly under
> ROOT ( "/") will NOT be processed. It will only take the
> hierarchical directories within each of the accounts specified
> (unless the %ROOT option is specified).

Farther down in %HELP you'll see:

> FOR EXAMPLE:
>
> A. :RUN BULDACCT; INFO="%ROOT"   ** NOTE ** There is no acct_list.
>   - Will process ONLY hierarchical directories under ROOT
>     ("/"). Will not look at any accounts, groups or users

BTW, this is BULDACCT Version A.50.25

HTH,
