why not try to write the file to the directory in question and the <CFCATCH>
the error that ensues is the directory doesn't exist. If no error is thrown
then there is nothing more to do, if an error is thrown then create the DIR
and then fo the file write. There are any number of small variants on this
idea.
Or, since you want a DIR for each user, maybe just create it when the user
first signs up. You'd still want to catch any errors as above but the
chances of the directory not being there are severely restricted
