This is probably happening because it's a NFS mount from a file server for home directories. You can check this by going to your home directory and do the following:
$ df -k .
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
toast1.mydomain.com:/vol/home0/home/rtm
75905928 28461384 47444544 38% /home/rtm
In this case, a system named toast1 is serving the home directories out. You will need to either go to that system to make any changes (not suggested since you were trying to change /home and not your own directory) or get with the Administrator who runs that server. Normally there can be other servers which are allowed to administer the files along with the actual system.

The cachefslog command displays where CacheFS statistics are being logged. Optionally, it sets where CacheFS statistics are being logged,
or it halts logging for a cache specified by cachefs_mount_point. The cachefs_mount_point argument is a mount point of a cache file system.

The following options are supported. You must be super-user to use the -f and -h options.
-f logfile Specify the log file to be used.
-h Halt logging.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Checking the Logging of a directory.
The example below checks if the directory /home/sam is being logged:

The example below changes the logfile of /home/sam to /var/tmp/samlog:
example# cachefslog -f /var/tmp/samlog /home/sam
/var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam
Example 3: Verifying the change of a logfile.
The example below verifies the change of the previous example:
example% cachefslog /home/sam
/var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam
Example 4: Halting the logging of a directory.
