Short-answer:  VFAT does not have the necessary capabilities/permissions/
user-support to mount as '/home'.

Long-answer:  It is a really *bad* idea.  So bad that the installer now has
a sanity to check to stop this happening, because people get confused when
they can't log in as a result!

Just create a symlink/shortcut from:

  ~/files

to:

  /media/hda7

Hope that helps,
