Dominik,
What are the permissions of your /home/username directory?  I've 
migrated home directories which were:

 rwxrws---  ( 2770 )

I am using a user private group schema.
I just noticed that now that I have changed to:
  rwx------   ( 700 )

My logout function now works cleanly.

Cheers! 
Sincerely,
Joe Baker
