I think you are misunderstanding how 'G' works.
The directories you name with 'G' are possible choices to replace $AUTO.
They must already exist when uss runs; any that don't are ignored.

So, if you wanted to balance users between usr0 through usr9, you could say

G /afs/.khlimafs/usr0
G /afs/.khlimafs/usr1
G /afs/.khlimafs/usr2
G /afs/.khlimafs/usr3
G /afs/.khlimafs/usr4
G /afs/.khlimafs/usr5
G /afs/.khlimafs/usr6
G /afs/.khlimafs/usr7
G /afs/.khlimafs/usr8
G /afs/.khlimafs/usr9

And then use the V line you show above.
On the other hand, if you are always going to put them in 'users', then 
just put the path in the V line instead of using $AUTO, and omit the G line 
entirely.
