RewriteRule / RewriteCond don't interpolate server variables in pattern regex

I have vhost like this structure:

/www/some_host/htdocs - doc root
/www/some_host/htdocs/usr/user1 - user1 dir
/www/some_host/htdocs/usr/user2 - user2 dir 
/www/some_host/htdocs/usr/user3 - user3 dir
...

I use authorization for this vhost, and try restrict every 
autorized user inside his user dir. User_name correspond with dir_name.

I use next simple .htaccess file for my vhost:
=======================================
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Some Secured Area"
AuthUserFile /www/some_host/usr.passwd
Require valid-user
Satisfy All

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} !^$
RewriteRule !^usr/%{REMOTE_USER}/ /usr/%{REMOTE_USER}/ [R]
=======================================
If user try to get out from own dir, server forcibly redirect him to correct
dir.
But, this rules don't work, because mod_rewrite not interpolate server
variables in pattern (i see this in log file).

If i use this rules (rule block for every user, without any server
variables), it's work fine:
=======================================
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^user1$
RewriteRule !^usr/user1/ /usr/user1/ [R]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^user2$
RewriteRule !^usr/user2/ /usr/user2/ [R]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^user3$
RewriteRule !^usr/user3/ /usr/user3/ [R]
=======================================
But, for hundred users i need write minimum two hundreds rules ... ?!
Why interpolation inside regex not work???

Huge thanks for greap idea. Genius trick!

I add some additions and obtain work config:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} !^$
RewriteCond $1<>%{REMOTE_USER} !^([^<]+)<>\1$
RewriteRule ^usr/([^/]+)/ /usr/%{REMOTE_USER}/ [R,L]
RewriteRule !^usr/[^/]+/ /usr/%{REMOTE_USER}/ [R,L]

Use a RegEx internal backreference to compare two values like

RewriteCond $1<>%{REMOTE_USER} !^([^<]+)<>\1$
RewriteRule ^usr/([^/]+)/ /usr/%{REMOTE_USER}/ [R]
