Suggest to the course instructor that use of a version-control system
like Git is part of what they'll learn? Then have each set up his or her
own user on Bitbucket.org and use it--just as they would be doing in the
real world when out of school. That's a useful tool that would follow
them the rest of their studies and after.

Learning about source control, versioning, team sharing,etc. is indeed valuable, but doesn't actually seem relevant to the problem Peter is having. Eclipse is refusing to create the workspace, long before they have the opportunity to create any projects. This is an OS/file-system/permissions/networking issue, I'm sure of it; rooted (somehow) in the fact that the user's home directories are mounted from a file server.
I thought Eclipse's old limitation of not supporting that (remote locations for workspaces) wasn't true any longer; perhaps it still is. It would surprise me, though; being so would completely prevent the kind of lab setup that Peter is trying to get, which seems to me to not be an uncommon environment.
