sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -d /newdir/administ -g 1000 -l administ -s
/bin/bash -u 1000 administ > 2010-11-14-1455.log 2>&1

Nothing comes out on stdout, the following comes out on stderr:

usermod: user administ is currently logged in

So perhaps that is the problem.  It did work in 0810, even when I was
logged on.

I do admit that there a strange situation here, and one has to know what
they are doing or there will be unpredictable results.

I am not in a position to check it on another account right now, I hope
to be in a few days.  I will post results at that time.
