Thanks. My minimal example would be:

  (setq auto-save-list-file-name "~/SAVE")

> (defconst backups-dir "~/.emacs.d/backups/")

Use (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/backups/") and it should work.

The issue is that we use

   unlink (SSDATA (Vauto_save_list_file_name));

and unlink does not understand the "~" construct.
