from http://macosx.com/tech-support/change-user-idgroup-id-in-leopard/336380.html :
dscl . -change $HOME UniqueID 41167 545 dscl . -change $HOME PrimaryGroupID 41167 1007 chown -R 545:1007 $HOME
-
Remember to run the chown command afterwards, or you will not be able to access your home directory. Finally, log out and log in.
-
you may have to propagate changes on other drives (backup disks and such)
