I've come across this exact same issue. I ended up using a command called
setacl.exe along with script by Richard Mueller

Basically, you can create the user and get the SID back straight away.
Then, when setting the file ACL, you provide the SID rather than the
username.

It's not pretty and I've come across some weird issues with the inheritence
of ACLs on profile directories. I was planning to share the script I have,
but these issues have got in the way of me doing that.

Hope this helps
