The home folder should be empty until you exit from the game normally so it can write all the configuration files to your home directory.
Try running it from a terminal and look at the output for errors or clues atleast.

The binary is at /opt/enemy-territory/et
There should also be a symlink at /usr/bin/enemy-territory
So by typing enemy-territory in a terminal ET should run.
