there doesn't appear to anything wrong with permissions. I just can't 
understand how prior to updates, I can access my /home/user directory, and 
yet post updates the /home/user directory is no longer accessable. why should 
any update stop me accessing the /home/user directory???

I must admit that I'm getting a bit pished off here. FC2 continues to work 
just fine, and yet updates on FC5 are seriously screwing up the OS.
