backup home directories

We are looking to backup our users home directory's on an individual
directory basis, but we want to thread it such that we can backup 'n'
number of user directory's at the same time. Basically the script
should go get the list of user directory's and then kick off 'n'
number of subprocesses to backup the first 'n'directory's. Once any
one of the subprocesses completes that process should get the next
directory in the list. This loop should continue until all directory's
have been processed.

Any scripting language, but C shell.

Thanks for your help.
