Using Terminal, I:

1. Copied the /Users directory to a different partition.

2. Deleted the original /Users directory on the OS X partition.

3. Created a sym link to the new, relocated /Users directory.

Mike Bombich, creator of CCC, BTW, has great instructions for it here:

The reasoning for utilizing Terminal is that the commands used (like 
at Mike's site) preserve all permissions and invisible files, which 
drag 'n' drop won't do and OS X making an Alias in the Finder won't 
do. I like to play it safe ...
