I have the source here, perhaps you can point me to where I should be
looking - the PTK is reasonably large.

AFAICS the PTK uses a folder called Members and adds folders under that for
each registered user :

Members
   Fred
      FredContent1
      FredContent2
      FredContent3
   Jim
      JimsContent

Nothing database-driven about that.

Thanks for your help.

- Ian.
