can't execute a shell script

Hi all,
As i want to know how the shell command "nohup" worked.I logged in as the user named vincent through Gnome.Then i press ctrl+atl+F1 changed into a console and logged in as another user named kinsley.The user "kinsley" is added by me with "useradd",and now there's no HOME directory for him(why?),and i have no right to make a new file.SmilieI moved a script which is owned by vincent to the directory of kinsley,and changed the file mode and ownership like this:
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kinsley kinsley 43 2011-03-06 21:53 /home/kinsley/script

and the file mode,ownership of /home/kinsley is
Code:
drwxr-xr-x 3 kinsley kinsley 4096 2011-03-06 21:56 /home/kinsley

The problem is i was NOT able to execute this script as kinsley.
The context of that script is:
Code:
#! /bin/sh

while .;do
	sleep 5
	date
done

why can't i execute this script?

newgrp(1)						      General Commands Manual							 newgrp(1)

NAME
newgrp - change effective group ID sg - execute command with different group ID SYNOPSIS
newgrp [-l] [group] sg group -c command DESCRIPTION
The newgrp command changes the user's real and effetive group ID by replacing the current shell with a new shell. A new shell is launched even if an error occours. A password is requested if the group has a password and the user is not listed in the group file as being a member of that group. The pass- word can be changed with the gpasswd(1) command. If the new effective group ID is not in the supplementary group list, newgrp will add the new group ID to the supplementary list, too. With no operands and options, newgrp changes the user's group IDs (real and effective) back to the group specified in password and group file. The sg command works like the newgrp command, except that it executes the given command with /bin/sh and upon exit the group ID of the cur- rent shell is not changed. OPTIONS
-l, --login reinitialize the environment as if the user logged in. --help Print a help list. -u, --usage Print a short usage message. -v, --version Print program version. SEE ALSO
gpasswd(1), group(5), passwd(1), passwd(5), su(1) AUTHOR
