Ah, your home is a network drive.  You're not accessing it with 'ssh'
are you?  You might want to check the permissions this directory has
(getfacl) and whether you can access the directory from the shell you've
opened.

You may not want to use a remote home directory anyway.  It's going to be
slower.
