Description 
See this Comm Center thread by Paul Luckas, and specifically this message in which he found the problem. I believe those UserData items for the web lock users are historical. There are a few that are used by weather servers and other components, but I think the ones for the PinPoint parameters e.g., minbrt, are unused now. Thus aacountctrl.asp does not need to create them, and should not be looking at them as a test of whether or not to create the user's data folders on disk etc.

  The web service account management API (ac/aacountctrl.asp) no longer creates the obsolete UserData keys in ACP's settings, and it will now properly delete an old UserData key when a user's account is deleted.

This has gone away, remove the logic for creating UserDate folcers from aacountcontrol.asp
