I don't know if this will work or not... but you can try (as root) "chown -R
<username>:users <mydirectory>" replacing "<username>" with your username
and
"<mydirectory>" with your home directory name. Do this from /home. This
*might*
fix it. Maybe someone else will have a better idea though... I'd try this as
a
last resort. ;-)
