Hi,
I’ve been having this problem for some days now and today I finally solved it. I have very little OSX server experience so I’m posting this in case someone else finds it useful.
My first clue was that when, on the client, I clicked my server in finder, finder would automatically connect to it using my iCloud e-mail address. This behaviour started I think, immediately after I had entered my iCloud credentials into the settings preference pane on a brand new account. I do not know why OSX would then decide to use these credentials for connecting to my server’s AFP share, I am guessing maybe this is a “back to my mac” feature?
To solve the problem I unmounted the share and then deleted all instances of my iCloud ID from my keychain (there were two). After this, when I click the server in finder, it connects as my currently logged in user which is what I would expect, and home sync now works fine.
Hope this helps someone.
Jo
