~ is a shorthand which is expanded by the shell, the same way $HOME (an 
environment variable). It is not a valid path. Since you are passing the 
path '~/.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb' directly to a Python function, the 
shell is not involved at all, so no expansion occurs.

By the way, they are called worksheets, and the interface is called the 
notebook :)
