Many systems adminstrators chose to set up a directory that links to
the correct user directory. For example, our systems have the
following setup:

I am user msingh, I can reference my directory as /u/msingh. If I get
moved, the systems admin makes sure that /u/msingh still references
the correct directory.

The nice thing about this is that it works for *all* programs, and
makes life generally much easier on the users. For the systems admin,
the amount of work needed to maintain /u is not that great since you
shouldn't really be constantly moving user's directories around.

Anyway, it is a suggestion for you.
