We use the following on our hosting sites.  Someone else in this 
post suggested a  sym link - the following is how I set it up:

telnet to raq and su

ln -s /home/sites/site#/users/joe/web /home/sites/site#/web/joe

(notice the space between /joe/web /home/sites)

cd /home/sites/site#/web

chown joe.home joe/

www.domain.com/~joe will now be www.domain.com/joe

The client (joe) uploads in his normal account in the /web directory

Hope this helps,
