Oops. The string is actually 68 characters (which means even more
time-savings for OP if he uses his system's shell to move the
Maildir). My zsh expanded the '~' in your double-quoted string,
producing (in my case) a 105 character count. Single quoted, it's
only 68. Should've sanity-checked my tongue-in-cheek comment first.
