Netbooting still works. So does server admin. And afp. All using a standard
user "image".
But admin user does not work to authenticate for ard, afp. Upon login as
root and typing su admin I get this

shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
directories: Permission denied

Any ideas? do I delete admin user and recreate it?

It's not a problem with the user account but with the user's home. Investigate what's wrong with the user's home, i.e. make sure it exists, is accessible and has the right ownerships and permissions.
