[Samba] Correct syntax for --home-directory option in samba-tool

Thanks again, for all your suggestions. I think, I will update my script .

Anyway, my home dirs are not created when using samba-tool alone, e.g.:

samba-tool user add test19 geheimnis 
--home-directory='\\elektra\home\thoralf' --home-drive='W:'

results in a correct data set for the user in ADUC, he just doesn't have 
a home dir.
After I set the home dir for the user under Windows to 
\\elektra\home\%username% the directory appears in my home share.
But that's fine with me. So, I benefit from samba-tool when adding lots 
of users to my domain and from Windows ADUC when creating their home dirs.
Linux and Windows in perfect harmony ;-)
