What is the correct way to create a users home dir

I want to have my daemon be able to create user home directories.  It currently does this by running a script.  What is the correct way to have the script create the home directory with the correct context type?

In my daemons selinux policy I have set:

userdom_home_filetrans_user_home_dir(qasd_t), but when the daemon launches the script to create a users home directory the directory is ends up with a context type of home_root_t instead of user_home_dir_t like I was expecting.

What am I missing here? I was under that understanding that userdom_home_filetrans_user_home_dir do a type transition for me from home_root_t to user_home_dir_t when I created a new directory under /home.  Is this not correct?
