put /yourhomedirPATH/%u in the path variable on swat for the share and this should take care of your problem.

Better yet for you path use:
PATH = %H
This will map to home directories even if they are not all at the same starting place:
(ie. we have student at /home/stu/name and faculty at /home/fac/name.)
