Mac OS X Server 10.3: Mobile accounts feature does not copy home directory contents

The Mobile Accounts feature synchronizes account data between a network and a local (mobile) user account. Items such as account name, password, and managed preferences are synchronized, but not other user data such as Documents, Pictures, or Preferences.
Synchronization of account data, such as name, password, and managed preferences, allows network users to log in while the computer is away from the Directory Service server.

The Mobile Accounts feature is not intended to synchronize the entire contents of a user's home directory.
