Just because gdm says its home directory is /nonexistent doesn't mean
you have to go create the directory yourself.

As I said before: /nonexistent is for when having a home directory that
exists is a security risk. By creating it, you've compromised that
particular bit of security.

What's the hostnames of those servers again?
