i moved my Users folder to another disk using the advanced options settings in accounts in Leopard system preferences. all is fine except i keep on getting the following detail when repairing permissions in disk util:

Code:
Permissions differ on "Users", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are -rwxr-xr-x

how can i fix this? and what are the default permissions on the users folder so i can try to fix it manually? is there a terminal code that i can use to correct the users folder permissions?

also when i create a new user an error message appears when first logging into that user saying "The home folder for user "username" is not located in the usual place or cannot be accessed". then when i check the home directory in advanced options its in the default directoty i.e. "/Users". albeit this can easily be corrected in advanced options but how can i make the system realise that new users are created in the Users directory on the other disk?
