Your KPATHSEA variables are a mix of TeXLive 2007 and 2008. Tilde
expansion is not used in 2007's texmf.cnf. Remember that tilde
expansion is the feature of the shell, not of the operating system and
not all programs. Try to find all your incarnations of texmf.cnf, you
may have some other copies in directories under $HOME. Removing them
and running mktexlsr may help, TeX will then find your original
texmf.cnf from distro.
