Tsm server 6.2.2 running on redhat RHEL 6.

I can log into the instance owner user id, go to the instance directory and 
start ssmserv directly.

Cannot start from the supplied startup script.
The message I get is 

"unable to locate home directory for user tsminst1"

Tsminst1 is the instance owner, its home dir is listed in /etc/passwd file, and 
I can log into it just fine and am dropped into its home directory 
"/home/tsminst1"

Where do I go from here?
