You shouldn't point to the directory /opt/sharp/users/yuan. This is a
directory that is part of the installation and not a user directory. I
guess what you want to do is

  adm/bin/newuser yuan /home/yuan spl at ust.hk

or

  adm/bin/newuser yuan /Users/yuan spl at ust.hk

(or something similar). The directory should point to a place that is
read/writeable by the user 'yuan'.

Correct. But you never need to actually look at this directory (or
modify anything in there).

Yes - you get an error because the initial 'adm/bin/newuser' command
was run wrongly.

Try

  adm/bin/deluser yuan

and then the corrected 'newuser' command (see above for examples).

Cheers
