What are the steps you have taken to reach this point? We have to be
able to reproduce the same thing, if there is a bug somewhere.

When do you hit TAB? Have you logged in? What is the setting of your
HOME directory in /etc/passwd? Can you change directories if you use an
absolute pathname like:
# cd /

It seems your HOME directory points to a location that doesn't exist.
Can you verify that /etc/passwd contains the right path, that this path
exists and that you do have the necessary permissions for that
directory?
