The docs for that method say: "If path contains a tilde (~) character, you must expand it with stringByExpandingTildeInPath before invoking this method."

Unfortunately, nothing is happening! I've tried many different things like

Did you look at the return value of the method call? If it returned YES, this would have been more puzzling, but a return value of NO might have led you to look at the docs to see what might cause the method to return NO. (Yes, I know this is 20/20 hindsight...)

It might be worth filing a bug request for a version of the method that returns an NSError like NSString's writeToFile method does.
