I don't think you can do this you describe, it fails
when attempting to make it the user's home:

/SYS/PUB:>newacct dev,rmt
/SYS/PUB:>sh

/SYS/PUB > cd /DEV/PUB/
/DEV/PUB > mkdir data
/DEV/PUB > cd data
/DEV/PUB/data > mkdir unprocessed
/DEV/PUB/data > cd unprocessed
/DEV/PUB/data/unprocessed > exit
/SYS/PUB:>altuser rmt.dev;home=/DEV/PUB/data/unprocessed
