Hi Nick,
Sage checks for the exitence of $HOME/.sage and if it doesn't exist
creates it. In your case $HOME seems to be empty.

It isn't a bug. To fix this we need to know more about your setup,
i.e. which user the webserver runs as, which webserver you are using
and so on. I am not an expert on those things related to Sage, but
somebody else should be able to take it from there.
