Description

I may be able to help with issue #5018 if it can be re-investigated. I am experiencing the same errors after moving my home directory to another drive on my system.

The errors started on El Capitan after installing an SSD and copying my Users directory to a separate volume. I then upgraded to Sierra and am still having trouble starting keybase.service.

Initially I moved the entire /Users directory. I have since moved /Volumes/UsersHD/Users/Shared back to /Users/Shared leaving my home directory in /Volumes/UsersHD/Users

My log ID is:
