Hello,

  Your users are probably in some /users/ directory. The users
not only should own the files in the home directory, they should
have write permissions to the /users/myhome/ dirctory as well.
  The best thing to do is to chown /users/myhome to the user
himself. And set the write permission for the owner as well!
