Well, yeah.  That's not a default setting, but indeed, if you have
stuff in user home directories that you wanted to share (~/public_html/
directories, or these dictionaries), you'll need to add at least +x
permissions on the home directory(ies) in question.

You still haven't told us what kind of failure you're seeing with your
dictionaries.  Is there a specific error message?  What does it say?
