Looks like directadmin is trying to copy files from 1 user to another when u make a new user. This cant be right can it ?

You can ignore all errors after this first one:

Error Creating /home/testerrr/domains

The first failure is causing a waterfall of errors, so we'll concentrate on the first one.

So.. check to see if /home/testerrr/domains was created or not.
Also see if /home/testerrr was created (DA would have mentioned if it wasn't).

So this would possibly be a quota error, or a permission error.
Make sure it's chowned to testerrr:testerrr and not to something like root.
Also, check quotas:

quota -v testerrr

Note this could be related:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=39
Any files on your system in other places with the same UID as the UID used for the new user would automatically become the "owner" of those files, thus he's be instantly over his quota limit.
If that is the cause, any users created after this one (don't delete him) will probably work, since it would go to the next highest UID available.
