I had the same issue using a symlink for my home directory. Fixed it by removing the symlink and mounting the new home directory location in /etc/fstab/etc/fstab by adding:
/media/my-other-drive/home/myuser /home/myuser none bind 0 0 /media/my-other-drive/home/myuser /home/myuser none bind 0 0 Then mount the home dir:
sudo mount -a sudo mount -a
