We recently had a similar discussion at whatsup (sharing home partition
between Fedora and Ubuntu), which might be relevant to your case.

So:

1. Ensure the user id is the same (i.e: matches the user id who's the owner
of the directory).
2. You might need to relabel the files under the home partition (or they
may have the wrong security context with SELinux).

See:
