Local home on a different partition on a iMac

Question

Dear all,
I have system who work fine.
One MacProp X server and server OS Leopard.
On the server I created several network account and their home are stored on second partition. With Group Manager I could setup the location of the users' Home folder.
I am trying to use Mobile. I think it very nice as my users might moving from a iMac to another one. But my boss does not want to have the document on local. Their documents must stay on the server.
Do you know how can I sncronize only Library/Preferences/ and NOT the home folder?
I already did some step:
From Workgroup, I selected an user, then I click on Preferences Icon, then on Mobile.
On Account Creataion tab:
1) I checked "Create mobile account....."
2) Unchecked the 2 sub option
3) checked Create Home using -> network home and default
I did nothing on the option sub tab
On Account Expiry tab:
1) I selected Delete mobile account and choose 0 Hours in order to be deleted asap
On Rule tab:
On the sub tab called "Preferences Sync".
On the folder section
1) I removed all and I added ~/Library/Prefrerences
On Home Sync tab:
1)I selected "Never" because I do not want to have it synchronized.
But I would like that when I go to "my Places" and then I click on the username (Home) I see the Home server content.
With the above configuration I see the local Home, which is empty.
Other think.
Is they a possiblity , on the iMac with Leopard, the move the local home from /Users/ to /partiton2/Users?
Many thank

User's library prefs are located in their home folder, not on the root - have you tried specifying that explicate path with the user's home folder name(s)?
/(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/
