I can't do that.

because others directories are mounted in the users' home  with the autofs process.
 I use a multimount point (automount) so i can i have in one home, others directories,wich in fact are on centralized nfs servers.

the home of my users look like that :

./home/user1 => /export/home/user1
/home/user1/data1 => nfsserver1:/data/groupyyy
/home/user1/data2	=> nfsserver2:/data/groupxxx

and all is mounted with a autofs multimount point :
auto.map : /	localhost:/export/home/user1 /home/user1/data1 nfsserver1:/data/groupyyy /home/user1/data2 nfsserver2:/data/groupxxx

SO in just want to create the /export/home/user1

thanks for your help....

bye
