What command and options did you use to create that user? Maybe you didn't specify home directory, or home directory that you specified does not exist. To create user and specify home directory and create it if it doesn't exist use command below:
# useradd -m -d /export/home/user user

Check the /etc/passwd file for user shell and home directory. If its not there then u can assign the same with usermod -s for shell and usermod -d for home directory
