Did you check the permissions of the /home? Don't forget that the permissions for the /home mountpoint directory in the root filesystem will be overlaid with the permissions for "." in the root of the filesystem that you mount on /home. So, mount the filesystem in question, and chmod that.

I want to "move" /home to a bigger, empty partition. So I created a new partition and in /etc/fstab I added it with a UUID and mounted at /newhome. Then I rebooted and copied from /home to /newhome with rsync. Then I edited fstab again, changing /home to /oldhome and /newhome to /home. Upon rebooting I find that neither user with their home at (new?) /home can login. The password is recognised but I get taken straight back to the login screen. Guest can login and its home is /tmp. I've got back to the beginning by using the recovery boot and going into root and re-editing /etc/fstab (but only after fsck which seems to make the partitions r/w). What else should I have done?
