You can get the information needed through Bobs CLI : https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/JCLI/JIRA+Command+Line+Interface

Exists check:

jira --action getUser --userId "testuser3"

Create:

jira --action addUser --userId "testuser2" --userEmail "testuser1@x.com"

Pick a scripting language, even Perl, and process the outcomes of the check, eg adding 001, 002 to the userid perhaps.
