Indeed. It seems pdflatex doesn't like the ~ sign excepted at the
beginning of the filename. It doesn't seem to be Org related though.

In any case, I'm wondering if we really need to send the full canonical
path (as returned by `file-truename') of the tex file to the pdflatex
process.

For example, we could set `default-directory' to the directory of the
tex file and provide only relative filename with %f. If needed, %F may
be used for the full path. I don't think it would introduce
incompatibilities.

WDYT?

Regards,
