In the fstab file, did you specify the correct filesystem (ext3) and partition numbers (or labels)? If you followed the directions above, /var should be your new partition that you just created, and /user is now your old var partition. Correct?? If so, run some basic commands against /var and /user to see that everything matches. Run 'ls -lh', 'du -sh', and other various commands to see if you notice any differences in the partitions. Look at file sizes, ownership, and things like that.
