An outline of a Python script for this might be:

-----

#!/usr/bin/python

import os

mbox_name = 'mbox name goes here'

for user_name in os.listdir('/home/'):
    if mbox_name in os.listdir('/home/' + user_name):
        os.system('sudo %s mb2md -s /home/%s/%s' % (
                                                   user_name, 
                                                   user_name, 
                                                   mbox_name))

Hope that helps
