Depends what do you meen by getting home-directory information.
If you would refer to getting the /home/username from /etc/passwd, thats 
correct, this is what happen because of the sambas [homes] share, on the 
other side "rich" SAM databases such as tdbsam provide som NT-ish 
things, like homedrive, profilepath, and logonscript, I'm afraid, that 
you are confusing this two categories.
