If Webalizer is configured to put them in /stats/, that would be
/home/sites/siteXX/web/stats, is that correct? I like the idea of Webalizer
keeping the stats directory out of the main web space so the users can't
mess with it when they FTP, and also so it won't cause problems with
FrontPage.

If I made the change in the <virutalhost> area of httpd.conf, I'd have to
manually make the change for every domain on the server, which is not very
practical (especially because removing the tilde is only to improve things
cosmetically, not functionally). I thought there was maybe a way to do it in
the srm.conf, either with a wildcard of some sort, or something like:
Alias /stats ../users/stats/web/
