I seem to remember that I somehow set the chrootpath to /home/<user-directory> for each user. This made that directory the root for that user when the sign on so there is no way for them to cd in /home. Thus they can't see the other users' directories. The advantage of doing it this way is that it is far less resource intensive than setting up a virtual machine for each user as they sign on.
