I have looked in the code, and I have trouble to see how file
names would get into the list unabbreviated. The code explicitly
abbreviates (i.e. inserts "~" for the HOME directory) for all new files.
Even if you have visited the file with an absolute path.
The only thing I can imagine is that you have, at some point,
filled the variable in a direct way, for example using wildcard
expansion like described in
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#set-agenda-files-using-wildcards
This would insert absolute file names into the list, and once
they are in there, they will not be replaced with relative ones.
One way to clean up would be to remove all files from the list
and start over, only adding them with your hook function.
Another way would be to evaluate (i.e. put the cursor behind it
and press `C-x C-e') the following form in the scratch buffer
(org-store-new-agenda-file-list
(mapcar 'abbreviate-file-name org-agenda-files))
Hope this helps
