Does it say that? Mine says, for both:
Process terminal exited abnormally with code 127
..: 1: [: sh: unexpected operator
..: 1: exec: sh -c 'ls /home': not found
> (term '( "ls" "/home" )) (term [ "ls" "/home" ])

Somewhere along the line that fails a `stringp' test,
i.e., `term' wants a string.
> (term "ls" "/home")
> wrong number of arguments
You can see that this isn't going to work just by
`C-h f term': (term PROGRAM) - so one argument.
