Can’t create Home folders for users on Xserve 10.4.11

Hi,

On our Xserve 10.4.11, Workgroup Manager will not create a
new home folder when I make a user account. I create the home in a folder
called Userhome on the Xserve Raid, and assign it 250 Gb of quota, and click Save….
But nothing happens, the users home is not there. One time I did get it to work, and
the new accounts could login to the client machines on the network. The next day,
the accounts could not login at all. So I deleted the accounts and the home folders, and
I tried again to create new accounts.

Share Point URL: afp://someserver.umbc.edu/Userhome
Path: johndoe
Home: /Network/Servers/someserver.umbc.edu/Volumes/Raid2/Userhome/johndoe

I also tried to create a Home in the regular Users folder on the server hard drive,
but it also fails to create a user home. It’s crazy because sometimes it has worked,
and now it does not.

When I login to a client with the new account,
there is an error ‘Logging into the account failed because an error occurred’
