samba - May 2019 - Moving home directories to another location leads to NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing

OK. That helped to understand how samba manages users. I looked at the details
of my users. Both, user1 and user2, are defined exactly the same way.
User1's home directory is set to \\debianhomeserver\user1 and user2's
home directory is set to \\debianhomeserver\user2. Accessing user1's home
directory which is still in /home/user1 works fine, user2's home directory,
which was moved to /mnt/volume1/homes/user2 does not.

Can I provide anything else that might allow you to help me solving that
mystery?

The home directory in /etc/passwd is changed to /mnt/volume1/homes/user2. That
was automatically adjusted after the usermod command I mentioned earlier. To my
understanding, once these items are changed and the user logs in he should have
full access to the share.

How would that look like? Maybe that is my missing piece.
