[wplug] need to find user HOME dir

I would tar up the files from the first user's account, put it somewhere
where the second user can find it, and have the second user untar it
into his home directory.

BTW, I'd use the variable '$#' to check number of arguments before 
setting FILENAME and USERNAME, and avoid checking for the nullness of 
those two later on.
