A few thoughts, actually:

1. Why are you calling the undo files "backup files"? Those are two different things.
2. Why do you think "backupdir" is for undo files? It isn't. That would be "undodir".
3. Persistent undo really, really, REALLY isn't meant for syncing undo information between machines, login names, or users. You aren't trying to do that, right? If you are, you should STOP now and look into Mercurial or Git or even something like Subversion.
