Hi,

I think it's probably a wild goose chase to be looking at dbus here;
if your NFS config works at all, dbus should work.

To answer the question about /tmp; the only thing dbus is going to do
with the homedir (that I remember offhand anyway) is create a cookie
auth file. You can turn off cookie auth if you want, it's only needed
if you enable tcp. This is done by adding to /etc/dbus-1/session.conf:
  <!-- Only allow socket-credentials-based authentication -->
  <auth>EXTERNAL</auth>
