${USER} is something I have only used in webmin ldap_useradmin config so
that it replaces that token with the actual 'account' that it is
creating (the uid)

It's odd but if I put these entries in 'LDAP Properties for all new
users'...

apple-user-homeDirectory /Network/Servers/srv1.example.com/NetUsers/${USER}

<home_dir><url>afp://srv1.example.com/NetUsers/</url><path>${USER}</path></home_dir>

both are ignored when I create the user.

When I edit the already created user and enter something like (using
ldap_useradmin):

/Network/Servers/srv1.example.com/NetUsers/administrator
   in apple-user-homeDirectory 

<home_dir><url>afp://srv1.example.com/NetUsers/</url><path>administrator</path></home_dir>
   in apple-user-homeurl

They are accepted
