Description:
If the configuration file path contains shell-special-symbols,
like (~), Instance Manager starts and initializes correctly, but
fails to change instance configuration.

How to repeat:
Start Instance Manager as follows:
$ ./mysqlmanager --defaults-file=~/.my.cnf

Connect to IM by mysql and try to create a new instance:
mysql> create instance mysqld3;
ERROR 3018 (HY000): Configuration file does not exist

Suggested fix:
Substitute '~' as it is done at initialization.
