User creation fails

Question

We are having a customized Portal Admin screen where we do the following together:
1. Group Portal creation
2. Group creation
3. User creation
When I do all this together, it fails with an error :
"<Error> <VisitorUserManager> <415380> <EJB Exception: : javax.transaction.TransactionRolledbackException:
EJB Exception: : Exception com.bea.p13n.usermgmt.UserManagementException: User
TESTUSER was not found.] at com.bea.p13n.usermgmt.internal.UserManagerImpl.getUserProfileManager(UserManagerImpl.java:238)
This is at the statement :
<vum:createUser userName='<%=userName%>'
     password='<%=password%>'
     profileType='<%=profileType%>'
     groupPortal='<%=currentGroupPortal%>'
/>
Now, if I separate this screen into 2 parts where 1) & 2) i.e Group Portal & Group
creation are done in one screen while 3) User creation is done in another screen,
it works fine!!!
This is very wierd, it looks like some kind of transaction needs to be committed
but I am unable to figure out how to do this. Any pointers appreciated!!
Thanks,

Here is more detail from a more recent try at creating a user...
From the system.log on the file server:
Feb 25 09:11:53 fsserver2 DirectoryTools[23708]: copyDirectory(en, /Network/Servers/fsserver2.xxxxxxxx.com/Volumes/uservol/Users/elviragonzales) failed with 1
From the LDAP logfile:
Feb 25 09:10:10 dbserver slapd[71]: Entry (uid=untitled_1,cn=users,dc=dbserver,dc=xxxxxxxx,dc=com): object class 'posixAccount' requires attribute 'homeDirectory'
Feb 25 09:10:10 dbserver slapd[71]: entry failed schema check: object class 'posixAccount' requires attribute 'homeDirectory'
User's home directory gets created in the proper place but with wrong owner and group. Owner ends up being root and group ends up being admin.
