Oops, sorry.

You should be able to open Server Admin / Users & Groups module and Show
Users.

Then select all users (command-A) and deselect any users you do not want
to perform this change on (like Administrator).

Click the Edit button. You will be asked if you want to do a Batch change,
or open all users in separate windows. Obviously, select Batch.

Then go to the Advanced TAB, and change the location path of the Home
Directory to the correct path.

That should do it for all your users.
