The problem is the quotes around the path string. This prevents
the ~ being expanded to your home directory, and it seems that
on some versions of OS X the presence of a ~ causes the RegisterProcess
failed error (perhaps this is a result of increased parameter checking
to increase security against malicious software). Simply removing the
quotes would fix the problem.

(Apples error message makes it hard to diagnose the cause).
