[Building Sakai] Workspace id ignores provided user id ?

[David Wafula]

No specific reason actually, am just lazy so that i can easily figure out
userid :) By the way, i have tested with new new user, the workspaceid is
correctly generated, so i was wrong. But this brought something else to my
attention,i 'deleted' old users, for some reason they are 'hanging in there'
somewhere. They dont exist in SAKAI_USERS table, they dont even appear in
user listing when logged in as admin, but they stubbornly hidden somewhere
(org.sakaiproject.user.api.UserAlreadyDefinedException). How best to expunge
them completely completely ??
