What messages did you see exactly?
I have no idea what might be the cause, but try this:

a) Try a login on the console - does it work? Can the user create files,
   and directories? If not, what error messages do you see?

b) Do a manual mount of the user's home directory, without automounter.
   Try to log in - does it work? If not, what error messages do you see?

Besides, does the log contain any information about unsuccessful 
logins/mounts?
