Just a hunch, but in what context is the failing code running? If the  
failing code is running in a web application, $HOME/~ would be the the  
webserver user’s home, while irb’s home would be your normal user’s  
home…

This was a weird error which solved itself.

The hostname of the server was set wrong, which gave us all kinds of  
problems.

It is solved now, thanks.
