I found that if they are populated then they are about 6 megs, and all
of it is in one directory...

/var/opt/SUNWbb/root/home/utcu95/.mozilla/firefox/17po0fie.default
So the only difference is the last directory its some mix of
##ab##aaa.default.

Appears to be a firefox instance for each user.
In our setup, if the users don't have a smart card in the sunray, it
defaults to loading up a restricted firefox webpage to a citrix login.
That way they can still do some work.  

So it must be everything needed to run the citrix page.

That sounds reasonable. But it also depends on your CAM
scripts/applications.

5,5 Meg per kiosk user home directory? That may be a lot, but it really
depends on what applications/prototypes you are using. But then 200
kiosk sessions seems quite a lot, if you are doing real work in all of
them (rather than just running RDP).

[I don't have a CAM box at hand, but (FWIW) with the JDS (Gnome) session
in SRSS 4.0 I get 187K/user, but I have only a few very lightweight
applications.]

You should have a look at the individual home directories:
- whether they are approximately the same size
   - if there is one that eats up a lot - what is special about it
   -  if they are the same: what makes them so big

You could mount an extra volume over /var/opt/SUNWbb/root/home.

At first glance: no

There are several places in CAM where that directory is referred to as
$BBROOTPATH/home (or similar). And you can't easily redirect $BBROOTPATH
elsewhere either.
