The permissions on /home/username are probably 700. Try :
chmod 701 /home/username
(replacing with the appropriate username of course), but be aware that
this gives all local users the right to read the list of which files are
in the /home/username directory, so you'll need to take some care with
permissions on your other files in future if it's a multiuser machine.
