Unless I'm mistaken (and I'm sure someone will point it out if I am),
you
should be able to access it by going to start -> run, and then putting in
\\servername\username
This explictly accesses the [homes] share in the same way that is
implicitly done by username when the user logs in.  Note that if the
permissions aren't right for the requestor to see stuff, he won't.
