Can the Tactical action on Rage of Matsu move an attacking personality in their players home into the defending army? I say no, but I need your thoughts.

You are correct; without specific text allowing it, an Attacker's unit cannot be moved into the Defender's army, as per this rule:

http://rules.l5r.com/Sequence_of_play#Attack_Phase:_Declaration_Segment: "...a player other than the Defender who was not invited by the Defender can not have his or her units assign to the defending side, move into the defending side, or be brought into play on the defending side during a battle. This prohibition includes the Attacker and third-party players."
