since you're grasping at straws....

login as root and from command line...

# init 1
# /bin/umount /home
### edit /etc/fstab to the 'before' configuration
# /bin/mount /home
# /bin/ls -l /home > /tmp/ls-output-before.txt
# /bin/umount /home
### edit /etc/fstab to the 'after' configuration
# /bin/mount /home
# /bin/ls -l /home > /tmp/ls-output-after.txt
# /usr/bin/diff -u /tmp/ls-output-before.txt /tmp/ls-output-after.txt \
> /tmp/ls-diff.txt

and see where the differences are from the /tmp/ls-diff.txt (or post
them here)
