It doesn't make a lot of sense to run xdg-user-dirs-update on root login or users dedicated services that still offer ssh login.
AFAIK it's pretty much accepted that personal users are belonging to the `users` group so I suggest the following change

```
diff --git a/trunk/xdg-user-dirs-update.service b/trunk/xdg-user-dirs-update.service
index d8cebe58..773a48d4 100644
--- a/trunk/xdg-user-dirs-update.service

No idea where you got that, but it's not true in any way.

This is also a user service that you have to specifically enable for the user you want to run it with. The entire premise here is bad.
