What's wrong:

When I logged in today, my fileserver was down.  Therefore, I logged
in as root, attached my charon home directory on /mit/jik, logged out,
and then logged in as myself again.

When I did this, login told me that it was unable to attach my home
directory and that it was using a temporary directory instead.
Shouldn't it have checked to see if a local directory (i.e. the
charon directory which was still attached at /mit/jik) existed
*before* trying to attach my locker?
