You saved /home on the re-install and re-created all the accounts and 
now they don't line up?
The above script will change /home/joe (and subdirectories) to be user 
joe and group joe, /home/fred to user fred and group fred, etc.
If you haven't re-created the accounts yet then that's a different problem.
