You should check with getent passwd is the settings in smb.conf are
visible. getent passwd displays a passwd listing that is the combination
of the /etc/passwd en the information winbind imports from you windows
domain.

If getent doesn't report back the correct /home dir then make sure you
edited the correct smb.conf file and maybe try to restart winbind to make
in reload (maybe seding a -SIGHUP would also work) the smb.conf file.
