Are you sure your home directory is at /home?
What's the result of `ls -l /home`? If it looks something like this:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8 Sep 7 09:55 /home -> usr/home
. . . everything should be fine. FreeBSD places the home directory in
/usr by default, so instead of /home it's /usr/home, and creates a
symlink from /home to /usr/home for the sake of convenience. Are you
sure that isn't what happened?
