If this is truly in "Computer", then he renamed "Macintosh HD" to his 
name. If it is in Macintosh HD:Users, he renamed his home folder. Since 
the system believes his home folder should really be called 
'his-shortname', it promptly recreated a folder called 'his-shortname'. 
This would also explain the iTunes music folder 'disappearing'.
Your user will likely continue to be confiused about where his files 
are (home (shortname), or not-really-home (fullname). You really need 
to do one of two things: Either change the user's shortname following 
the kbase-article-from-hell, or educate him - he is NEVER to rename 
that folder. Perhaps a finder-label of "red" may help?

Better to get him straightened out now, rather than April 14th 2005. 
(The day before federal taxes are due in the US, for those listers 
outside the US).
