(Someone else has a better answer for this, but I couldn't find it 
quickly in the archives...)

Check out the 'filespaths' plugin. I haven't used it personally, but 
it's supposed to make "directory structures" easier to work with.

Mostly I just make the key look like a path, ie:

/user1/filename.blah
/user2/filename.blah

... and you can manage the collections in your application, or use the 
'listkeys' feature. Lots of options, none too terrible.
