How about a trailing slash after the directory name ;-)
like this:
$dirpath = "/home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum/" . $username;
you had:
$dirpath = "/home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum" . $username;
which would try to create a new directory inside the web directory.
die("$dirpath"); // excellent for debugging :-)
