--- Comment #2 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at dtucker.net> ---
Tilde expansion is a function of the shell, and you told your shell not
to do it by quoting your argument.  Compare (this is bash):

$ echo ~/.ssh/known_hosts
/home/dtucker/.ssh/known_hosts

$ echo "~/.ssh/known_hosts"
~/.ssh/known_hosts

"~" is a valid path component on most if not all Unix filesystems.
