If you do a long listing on your home directory,
do you see an integer rather than a name for the
file owner?  I reproduce this by changing the uid
field in /etc/passwd and logging in again.  You
can probably fix it by changing the uid field of
that user in /etc/passwd to the integer you see
as the owner of that user's home directory.
