FileVault home folders are actually contained in a different volume, 
mounted in /Users. This is hidden if you use POSIX path, but if using 
traditional HFS path or AppleScript references ( folder ... of disk 
.....) this can cause some problems, although I would rather expect "file 
not found" kinds of error.
