Re: unison doesn't honor HOME when USERPROFILE is set, also permission/uid/gid problems when synchronizing

As I told you above. It uses $UNISON also in my case.
Probably this part from os.ml takes precedence then:
(*****************************************************************************)
(* UNISON DIRECTORY *)
(*****************************************************************************)
(* Gives the fspath of the archive directory on the machine, depending on *)
(* which OS we use *)
let unisonDir =
try Fspath.canonize (Some (Unix.getenv "UNISON"))
with Not_found ->
let genericName = Util.fileInHomeDir (Printf.sprintf ".%s" Uutil.myName) in
if Osx.isMacOSX then
let osxName = Util.fileInHomeDir "Library/Application Support/Unison" in
if Sys.file_exists genericName then Fspath.canonize (Some genericName)
else Fspath.canonize (Some osxName)
else
Fspath.canonize (Some genericName)
(* build a fspath representing an archive child path whose name is given
*)
So the first part of my patch seems ok:
