SQLDeveloper dies becuase it can't mkdir in /home on OSX 10.6

This was totally weird. SQLDeveloper crashed on OSX. I attempted to restart it and got a popup telling me "Error creating user home in directory /home/[some place]".

The [some place] was actually my unix NFS home directory. It's totally beyond me how OSX figured out my NFS home directory for my unix account (which is by the way the same account as my osx account).

I commented out some automounter thing according to this article: http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=5665487&stqc=true

Then I rebooted and SQLDeveloper worked again.
