I would have done things something like this:
A server with susehomes and fchomes exported, for the various system
dependent things that sit in the homespaces. Then also exported a
separate userhomes for them to put their data in.
Then the users would mount either the suse or fc homespace as required,
which would have the userhomes space mounted into that for their own
data.
e.g. ls -l /
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tim tim 14 Mar 27 00:23 home -> /mnt/server/fchomes
ls -l /home/tim
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tim tim 14 Mar 27 00:23 data -> /mnt/server/userhomes/tim
