Did you create the directory using mkdir instead of letting adduser do
it for you? Adduser normaly creates the home directory and sets the
owner and group to the new user. It will also copy the files from
/etc/skel into the new homw directory, changes the ownership of the
files as well.
(I see that others have told you haw to fix the ownership problem, so I
will not go into that...)
