cassandra-stress: URI is not absolute error

Question

I am trying to run cassandra-stress from a bash script:

HUB_STATUS_YAML="~/some-path/hub_errors.yaml"
COMMAND="cassandra-stress user profile=${HUB_STATUS_YAML} ops(insert=1)"
echo About to run $COMMAND
$COMMAND

I end up with the following error: "URI is not absolute".

axelcdv's comment concurred with my experience of this problem.

Make sure you spell the file name correctly.

I'm taking DataStax training atm and encountered the same error. I was spelling the cqlstress.yaml as csqlstress.yaml the "URI is not absolute" error.
