Yes, "~" is expanding properly. The problem is that I never actually am logged in as mythtv, so when I upgrade, I am logged in as 'username', and run 'sudo mythicalLibrarian --upgrade'. It resolves '~' to /home/username. Those alternate dirs don't exist there, because mythicalLibrarian is never run as "username".
What are the alternate dirs for anyway? Maybe I should change them to not be dependent on the user running mythicalLibrarian.
I am running the latest version of mythbuntu:
