Mac behavior when Home folder resides off boot drive

Something unusual has affected two Macs: a Mac Pro and a Mac Mini. In each, there are second internal drives where I have moved my Home folder (employing Advanced Options in the Users & Groups section of System Prefs.
Each computer has LMS installed, although it is only running on the Mac Pro at the moment.
I have an issue that may be related to LMS.

At each restart, I log into my user account, but it cannot find any information in my Home folder.
On both computers, it appears that LMS has forced creation (on the Boot drive) of a new folder representing my Home folder drive (named "Home") containing this hierarchy:
Home/jclark/Library/Logs/Squeezebox -- and nothing else.

A user at Apple's discussion boards, where I have posted about this, suggested that perhaps LMS is "hard-coded to look for /Users/yourHomeFolderName/ instead of using the system path to your home."

So I'm wondering if anyone here can comment on that possibility or something related -- so that if it's not the case, I can continue to search elsewhere for a cause.
