I believe if you chown the user's home directory, the problems will end.
Make sure the user has a .profile also.
This happens when you:
useradd -d /usr/blah blah
[ this means blah was not made by its owner, which would be recursive anyways,
and is a problem. ]
passwd blah
[ this sets the blah user's passwd. ]
Now, logging in as blah gives you just those errors.
If you do a:
chown /usr/blah blah
It will rectify the problem.
then do:
cp ~/.profile ~blah/
If you want that account to have your .profile setup.
Making this a script enhances the process.
-Will, hoping I could help.
