You may well be right - I installed F9 on another machine where I have
the user areas in a pre-existing /home partition and this worked without
issues.

However there must be a way to work around the problem?

I know I could re-partition and make a new partition for /home and a 
separate partition for /opt - but that would be hard work at this stage.

Or I could in future make /home a partition and then make a subdirectory
/home/opt and symlink that to /opt - but that may then lead to other
problems that I have not come to at this stage using SELinux....

It seems that using SELinux opens up issues that I had never previously
though about... and if there is no easy workaround then I would be pushed
into switching off SELinux again which would be a shame.
