Okay, I am answering this as good as I can, but I will not anymore, if the notice remains.

I don't know which homefolder code you are referring to, but the one in zope.app.authentication was originally developed by myself, with many other contributors thereafter. > In the process of doing this, I decided to > subclass and override some of IPrincipalFolder.

Any thoughts? I think your setup is so specific that a general list like this will not be of any help.
