Adding users after cluster creation (bug or misunderstanding)?

Let's say I have defined several CreateUsers plugins as follows:

[plugin createAuser]
setup_class = starcluster.plugins.users.CreateUsers
usernames = user_a

[plugin createBuser]
setup_class = starcluster.plugins.users.CreateUsers
usernames = user_b

[plugin createCuser]
setup_class = starcluster.plugins.users.CreateUsers
usernames = user_c

And I define a cluster to run at creation time the createAuser pluging, but
at some later date I would like to add user_b to that same cluster.

I should be able to run the command "starcluster runplugin createBuser
<clustername>" and get user_b propagated into that cluster should I not?

If so, I am not getting the desired behavior.

 In fact this mechanism for adding a user evalente after cluster creation
outputs the following:

$ starcluster runplugin create_evalente_user i04dft
StarCluster - (http://star.mit.edu/cluster) (v. 0.95.6)

**************************************************************

I tracked down users.py and found that the self._usernames contains
evalente, but newusers gets a list of existing users back from the
self._get_newusers_batch_file
 call.

Has anyone else used the plugin in this manner successfully? What other
ways have people used to achieve user creation post cluster creation?

Thanks,
Eduardo
