just a guess but I say your problem is there. The shell did not
expand the ~ when setting the path.

on my debian system running bash:

aphro@defiant:~$ set | grep PATH
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/home/aphro/bin
_=PATH
aphro@defiant:~$ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
aphro@defiant:~$ set | grep PATH
PATH=/home/aphro/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/home/aphro/bin
_=PATH

the ~ was expanded ....maybe you could try $HOME instead of ~ that
may be more compadible accross shells.
