Quoting the GDM 2.6.0.4 release announcement
(http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2004-August/msg00061.html)::

:Highlights of 2.6.0.4:
:
:- Allow not checking directory owners with CheckDirOwner key,

You could try if your problem goes away with gdm 2.6.0.4-1 (currently still
only in sid) with CheckDirOwner=false in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf .

HTH,
