Group writable home directories are considered bad policy - other people
shold not be allowed to write to your home directory. Even being able to
read is considered poor by most sysadmins.
Run the following command:
chmod g-w /home/jeff
and the the error should go away. To make your home directory even more
private run:
chmod go-rwx /home/jeff
Hope this helps.
