nofollow is not about indexing. you'll need to disallow the member page in your robots.txt file

I am using robot.txt to disallow user page and It working fine for me.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /whats-new/
Disallow: /account/
Disallow: /attachments/
Disallow: /goto/
Disallow: /posts/
Disallow: /login/
Disallow: /admin.php
Disallow: /help/
Disallow: /members/
Allow: /

For what it's worth, I had noindex on member pages and also Disallow: /members/ in robots.txt

That resulted in member pages being indexed because Google was blocked by robots.txt and couldn't reach those pages to see that they had noindex tag. However it was following links to member pages from threads/posts so it was indexing them!
