I'm not sure I understand this correctly but shouldn't the first entry
be a regex file pattern?   This would only appear to match files with
a single character followed by ~?

According to the documentation for that variable, if you want all
files going to the specified directory (which in your case will be
relative to the original file's location), maybe you want ".*" as the
file regex?
