home dir not created - new user

Simple question: I created several new users, but the home directory i specified (/data/home/userid) was not created because the "home" part of this path did not exist (although i recieved no error). Is there a utility somewhere that i can use to create these user's home directories (now that i've created the "home" directory), instead of having to create them manually?

I just wrote a script to do this, but if anyone knows of some built-in utility to do this (like an extension of the utility that i used to create these users), it would be greatly appreciated.
