Better to use ditto than mv; it preserves HFS metadata and resource forks.

# mkdir Users.orig
# ditto -rsrcFork Users Users.orig

But as I already said, better to change the actual location of the Home
folders in NetInfo. Just linking to a folder in another location can yield
unexpected results (read: cause weird problems).
