Lion Server - Home Folder Sync Not Working - HELP

I have a lion server set up on a mac mini.
I have set up an OD to manage network accounts through the server app. My workflow for setting up users is:
1.     using the server app add a new user
2.     I have a home folders users directory set up under file sharing and set to be available for home directories - so I select this share as the home folder for the user
3.     I user the WGM app to then set up mobiility through the preferences tab to create always and to sync the home and preferences
4.     I check that the home folder is set correctly under the user account in WGM
When I log in to the client machine (regardless of whether or not I have first logged in on the server or not) the client presents an error saying that it can not log in and can not access the server at that time. The client stays on the user login screen.
If I then change the users home folder on the server to local I can then log in on the client machine and create the account. If I elect not to create the home folder on the client machine the rainbow ball of death occurs and the machine hangs. So I instead log in and select to create the local home folder.
I then log out of the user and change the user setting on the server to point the home folder to the correct share instead of on the local setting.
I then log back on to the client machine and can log in without any problems. HOwever, I get an error message if I try to sync saying that the home folder is not accessible. This is despite the fact that the home folder, and the server et al, can be mounted in finder and I can copy and paste documents etc to and from the server. I have full and expected access to the server and the associated storage.
For some reason home sync continues to say that the home folder can not be found (in fact that the server can not be found) whenever I try to sync.
This is driving me bananas. I have tried so many permutations that I have lost count of the things that I have tried.
Is this a permission issue?
I have the OD bound to the client machine and have no problems seeing the users and being able to access the OD from the client machine.
Does any one have any thoughts at the issues I should be looking at or which logs may be helpful in trying to understand what is going on?

Jonathon.
The dscl command just leads to a "Data source (LAPDv3.server.tnichapman.private) is not valid" statement.
I logged on using my local client admin account.
I had a search through console.
The only error associated with slapconfig was:
2012-04-17 03:40:18 +0000   popen: /bin/cp -r /Library/Preferences/com.apple.passwordserver.plist /tmp/slapconfig_backup_stage71031lThmRX/, "r"

The rest were statements like this:

Our Static Public IP is 197.255.232.15 it is assigned to Inetrface Gigabit ATM0.1 and ISP default GW is 197.255.232.1. Let me know whats next? How do I make web server inside the organization available for outside Internet users. Thank you.

"Unknown Error(13019)" Sync not working help me out?

I got my Ipod touch for christmas and it worked just fine when syncing and such, but just a few days ago when I connected it it refused to add my music and even deleted some songs from my device. This message appears:
"The iPod 'iPod Touch' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured. (13019)"
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, recopying all my files, holding home and sleep on my iPod...the only thing else I can think to do would be click that tempting little "restore" button...
Can anyone help me?

Windows Server 2008 xml sync not working

Windows Server 2008 message - xml sync has stopped working. this is preventing me from having my documents automatically upload to a client website for their viewing. these file are uploaded with FTP automatically when

get the XML Sync issue resolved so hopefully documents will upload again.

Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

My home button is not working in iphone4 what should be do pls help.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If basic troubleshooting fails to resolve the issue, the next step is to take the device to Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for evaluation.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPodin recovery mode use this prgram.
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

It could be that your button has justy gone out. You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there. If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.
