Uhhh  not much information here.  

1) Is /home currently its own partition?  or is it part of the root 
filesystem/partition?   Makes quite a difference.

2) If it is its own partition, why are you using the Partitioner?   Unless you 
want to create a new and bigger partition and eventually get rid of the 
current /home.

3) If (2) is not the case, then all you need to do is to umount /home from its 
current mount point and remount it at /local/home which would require either 
Yast or Partitioner and should take about 10 seconds.

4) If (2) is correct, then I myself still wouldn't use Yast  to do any of this 
but some people would.   I would create the new partition.  mount it 
at /local/home   and  rsync or cp the files from /home over to it.


I guess I just don't see what you are trying to do exactly.
