I ran into similar problems with the lack of flexibility with makeuserdb.
I generate userdb files on one management machine (via database queries,
a perl script, and makeuserdb) and then deploy them to production servers
(via scp and ssh). At the time I searched the archives for a year or so
back and saw that several people had asked about a command line option to
set the userdb location with no (IMHO) straight answers.

It does not appear to me it's going to change. I work around the whole issue
with perl scripts, but it's a PITA. I guess every production environment
is 'site specific'. It's sort of a one size fits all world. :(
