Can't you push a bash script?

If you can, well, do this...
################################


#!/bin/bash

for i in `find /home/* -type d -maxdepth 0 | awk -F "/" '{ print $3; }` ; do
	if [ $i = "Shared" ] ; then
		echo "Shared folder. Skipping..."
	else
		echo "Setting owner of $i to its relevant user...
		# This is probably not netinfo friendly.
		chown -R $i:admin /Users/$i
	fi
done


########################

Do take note that I wrote this in 3 minutes, did not test it and
probably used flawed logic, but this does what your example did.
Vaguely.

Its probably not the best way to do this, and doesn't even takes in
account netinfo. I have no clue if chown should be changed for something
more relevant -- but if you can do bash, this should get you started,
just change the command.

DO NOT LAUGH AT MY POOR BASH SKILLS :'(
