It looks like the problem is that ext3 won't let you create that many 
directories in one directory.

Take a look at the hashimapspool option.  When you modified the code to 
accept numeric ids, you may have missed the hashing code. This will have 
the user directories created under a number of subdirectories so you won't 
run into this problem. You probably want to make sure the hash algorithm 
creates fewer than 3000 directories in any given directory.

Also, you may want to have multiple user partitions and not just put 
everyone on the same partition.
