I have no idea why is this failing on your system. Maybe Apache
does not have access to /etc/passwd or something else security related.
Or a bug in Mono's g_get_home_dir().

Try to run the test below

1) under your account
2) as "www-data" (sudo su - www-data)

using System;

class Test
{
     static void Main ()
     {
         Console.WriteLine (Environment
             .GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal));
     }
}
