Need help: Moved /home now lost xmessage use?

[Jonathan Gift <jgift@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi,

I deleted my dos partition and made two primary, one for moving
/usr/local, and another to move /home from hda8 to hda3. After a few
little things everything seems to be working, I created a home dir,
mounted it, moved stuff, same for /usr/local. Problem so far is when I

did:
ls ~/tmp | xmessage -file -

as a test I got:
xmessage: problems reading message file

Now I did the same from X in root and there's no problem, so it has to
be with permissions or my not telling someting I had moved???

Antything I should have notified, aside from changes in fstab, of my
/home move?

Help greatly appreciated in case I screwed up.

Jonathan
