I think your problem with cron is that the ~is probably not set when the
cron is running since it uses sh shell, and your ~variable is set in the
bash_profile for the bash shell

I guess the only things you gotta do is change the shell you use to execute
cron jobs, usually it's set to sh, you should set it bash.
