Buggerit, loads of lost data on the iMac

I can home tonight to find Emily's iMac has lost all its user accounts,
apart from the main one (which is mine).

Even the folders are missing.

The bad news is that I've never backed up this one, as it doesn't have
any really important data on it, except it'd be nice to be able to
retrieve what was there.

Disk Warrior says the directory is too bad to repair too :-(, although a
fsck run says the drive is OK!

They are the only bits that are missing though, all the applications,
libray and such are still intact.

Very strange.
