Hi Stan I believe that the Registry.dat file in \MozillaHome would still be pointing mozilla to your profile in the previous location in \os2web. I have found it necessary to delete this file to get mozilla to recognise the "New Home" location myself.
You also need to reset mail and news locations in mozilla otherwise you will find them pointing to the previous locations. Hope that makes some sense.
