Ok, basically you can add a transition rule for "/home/cnd/mod1"


userdom_user_home_dir_filetrans(unconfined_t, ABC_t, dir)

It will create a dir in /home/cnd with ABC_t labeling for unconfined_t
or for a domain defined by you.

Where you are not able to use a file transition, you can use restorecond
on RHEL6. It uses inotify to watch files listed in

/etc/selinux/restorecond.conf
/etc/selinux/restorecond_user.conf

when they are created and it sets a context defined in the policy.
