Not sure about the tilde. I don't think it has any special significance
at all. When folks have trouble in my shop, it's usually been embedded
blanks in the path, or even in the file name. Try opening QSH and going
to "/home/<whatever>" then doing a "ls <filename>". If that works, it
might be the path he's constructing. If it doesn't, it's probably the
filename itself. I don't remember if /home is case sensitive. That might
be an issue too.
