Try: echo -n $HOME | od -tx1z

If you have od installed you will see how the line ends, if it ends with
hex. 0d then that is the problem, your .bashrc and / or scripts have CR
LF endings, they should only have LF, fix them by using "d2u .bashrc" or
any other file name.

Of course the HOME variable is alredy set to "/home/adella<CR>", you'll
have to set it again by sourcing the .bashrc script.
