Using Disk Copy with Home folder on another partition

After I moved my Home directory to another partition on the disk, I was not able to create disk images with Disk Copy any more because it was aborting the creation with a rather cryptic error 22 (invalid argument). Eventually I found the reason: the missing "Temporary Items" directory on my second disk partition, where my home now lived. Creating a "Temporary Items" directory with read/write permission for everybody in the top level directory of this partition solved the problem.

[Editor's note: I have Users on my boot disk, so I can't vouch for this one -- anyone else have a similar experience to share?]
