We experienced the same problem, our solution was to write a loginhook
that would place a symlink in /Users/USERNAME to the correct location
(eg. /Network/Servers/whatever/USERNAME). Something like:
##########
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -L /Users/$1 ]; then
ln -s /Network/Servers/whatever/$1 /Users/$1
fi
##########
However, this will pollute your /Users dir. This is not important to
us, because we use netboot clients, so everytime the machine gets
rebooted, /Users will be empty again. You could solve this by writing a
logouthook if you're not using netboot. Or periodically purge all the
symlinks from /Users.
