I have a similar problem with my home directory being on an NFS mount, and if I try to add "user_xattr" to the mount, then it won't mount anymore.

My solution was to modify the /usr/bin/netflix-desktop script to tell it that my home directory was somewhere else:

# Enable translation capabilities
. gettext.sh

# Added this line to allow netflix-desktop to run
export HOME=/opt/videos
# End of changes

export TEXTDOMAIN="netflix-desktop";
export TEXTDOMAINDIR="/usr/share/locale";
......

I post this here mostly as a help to anyone else who runs into the issue and comes across this bug report. Still, perhaps it would be nice if, when that "user_xattr" error message pops up, giving the user a way to change the directory to another location so that it might run?
