GDM error using LDAP, NFS, autofs

I recently installed fedora-ds on my server and enabled an NFS share of /home which I automount using autofs on client computers. Everything works as expected if I login at a terminal. However, if I try to login using GDM or KDM I get an error message:

Code:
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: line 0: exec: /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde: cannot execute: No such file or directory
I read about using the ldap pam module here http://osdir.com/ml/pam/2004-05/msg00037.html but it did not fix my problem.

I have googled for hours to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

in the ldap under the user "posix user" put in a login shell like /bin/bash

also on the NFS share check the permissions on the users directory
for me I have
chmod 750 /home/username
chown username:username /home/username

hope this helps
