Thats what I do.
Thats nearly what we do here, to. All our home volumes follow the naming scheme user.XYZ. So we wrote a small shell script "vos release user.XYZ" and let it run every night inside the bosserver. Remember, that you can't vos release user.* , you have to "for i in ls /afs/a.b.c.d/home/ ; do vos release user.$i; done" or something similar.
