Nothing jumps out at me.  Might /home be a symbolic link
to another location, eg. /export/home?  I don't know if
it matters, but I've always used the actual storage dir.

BTW the second parameter (/home/a-c) is just a DLE name,
not a pathname.  Omitting the slashes might avoid
future confusion.  Ex. HOME:a-c
