I followed this guide: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/

Everything went fine, untill I rebooted my pc, then I got the following errors:

http://users.skynet.be/bs255923/2.jpg

I think it is something wrong with my /etc/fstab/
I added
/dev/sdb5 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2

What must I change to get it working?

Post the output from:

mount
and

sudo fdisk -l

fdisk -l lists the partition tables.
read the man page for more info.(man fdisk)

boot into recovery mode and chmod 700 ~/
chmod the .dmrc to 644

then reboot
