There is certainly no flag in Galaxy to allow this. Even if you tried to hack it in - there would be some problems. Galaxy writes out some files to that working directory before running the job - so there would need to be more chown-ing and stuff happening at the beginning of the job - probably before it even got to the runner component. If Galaxy could assume these directories already existed and didn't need to run the jobs as the real user - this would be a lot easier (not easy, just easier) to hack into Galaxy - but I assume you want to run these jobs as the real user.
