the texmf directory in your home is defined in the variable

% User texmf trees can be catered for like this...
HOMETEXMF = $HOME/Library/texmf

Since the $HOME variable is used, this should work without a problem, 
unless your $HOME variable is still pointing to the old location.

You could try to create a /Users sym-link, which points to /home, for 
your convenience.
