I have other user id's added with adduser that are in /usr/home/userid. When using pw it makes the entry in the passwd file ok with /home/userid but does not create /user/home/userid. I looked for it. This is easy to test for your self. Pw -D then pw adduser tom then pw showuser tom them cd /usr/home/ them ls and look for tom. You may want to edit /etc/pw.conf Give it a try and let me know.

Are you sure /home exists as a symlink to /usr/home? Perhaps, it's setting tom's home to /home/tom when /home doesn't really exist.
