The permissions on ~/.dmrc are 600 , FWIW - working fine.
$ ls -l .dmrc 
-rw------- 1 peter peter 24 2007-03-31 12:44 .dmrc

Have you checked permissions on the /home directory ? ( the parent, not
the user's directory ) ?

 $ ls -ld /home
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2007-04-08 01:47 /home

If it doesn't look like that ( 755) , try

sudo chmod 755 /home
