you can't verify if a user exists by just looking at /home.. you should be looking at /etc/passwd really.

not to deflate anything, but you do know that pam and the /etc/skel template can handle all this by default? placing the ssh keys in /etc/skel/.ssh should sort that all out without you needing any of this unweidly script.
