first: sudo is not enabled by default and if you are root not needed
second: doing this as root is a little strange

why?
~/username = /root/username
the only luck is that this path do not exist

WTF - do not work with ~ in context of different users/userhomes and
give always ABSOLUTE PATHS  if you deal with chown/chmod/chgrp
