First: are you shure you use the same type of filesystem as in your old
setup? Open /etc/fstab to check it. Change the filesystem type (as root) if
necessary, and run the mount command again. 
  
Second: are you certain that the mount point /home exists? Check it by
running a 'ls -F -l /' command from a terminal. Whats the output of that
command? There should be a directory called 'home/' (ending with a '/'
because of the -F option). If this directory doesn't exist, create it. If
it exists, check the permissions, they should be somthing like
'drwxr-xr-x', if not change them with 'chmod'. (See the man pages).

Is everything still gone?
