you pretty well figured it out....

you can specify that a normal mpe group be built on a user volume.
anything built below it -- be it a file or directory -- will also be on
that user volume.  the trick is to use links to make it appear that
<whatever> is hanging off the account.

now for folks using the newacct/newgroup udcs from jazz -- there is a
provision in the newacct udc to allow for some space (it should to be a
small amount) to be allocated on the system volume.  why? because that
link will be on the system volume....  check your version number (i've
got b.10) to see if you have this enhancement or not.  i've used this
exact concept with great success...so it does work.
