ReadyCloud users and local users get their own home share. These home shares are only accessible by the owner and the admin, they cannot be shared.
Yes, with this sad state of affairs, you are better off not using home shares. Instead, create folders yourself and give access to the local and ReadyCloud users. BTW, you cannot create a folder manually that has the same name as a user, and you aren't supposed to be able to create a local and ReadyCloud user with the same name (though it seems you have).
Other pluses of doing this are that you can use RSYNC for backup, where you cannot with home shares, and the file useage shows up on the Shares tab. Disadvantage, especially if you have a lot of users, is the extra work required.
