First things first. You have a login script that redirects to http://domain.com/username/. So why would I ever login? I would just bookmark that dir. I would probably also have a guess to see what other directories there might be. Using your current logic you may as well not have a login.

Having N copies of a script to deal with N users is stupid. Besides the fact that you don't have any form of secure login this is a maintenance nighmare. If you did have a decent login you could quite happily use a central script as this script would check login status/identify the user, and then let them do stuff to their own stuff and only their own stuff.

You seem to be under the impression that redirecting users to 'their own folders' makes any useful difference to anything. It is also apparent that you plan to allow execution of CGI scripts in any directory. If users can create files, upload, rename files then they can probably create their own CGIs. If they can create their own CGIs you might as well give them your Administrator password now.

I sincerely recommend you post a new question that states what exactly it is you are trying to achieve and asks for advice about good ways to achieve that. Without being unduly rude your current plan seems very sub optimal.
