For Alfresco 2.1.0 Community, I believe you should also override the homeFolderManagerBean by adding it to your alfresco/extension/ldap-authentication-context.xml


    <bean name="homeFolderManager" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.person.HomeFolderManager">
        <property name="nodeService">
            <ref bean="nodeService" />
        </property>
        <property name="policyComponent">
            <ref bean="policyComponent" />
        </property>
        <property name="defaultProvider">
            <ref bean="userHomesHomeFolderProvider" />
        </property>
    </bean>

Note: "User Homes" is now the default with Alfresco 2.1.0 Enterprise and higher.
