Issuing a command like:

qsub -wd '$HOME' test.sh

will not change the working directory, but instead create a stdout file with
literal name $HOME in the home directory. Using pseudo variables seems to be used by the JAVA interface too (where it also fails), but
according to `man qsub` "-wd" doesn't support pseudo variables at all.

The above command should fail, unless there exists a directory with name
/home/user/$HOME in literal.

That the output file is changed, seems to be a side effect when the $HOME is
seen and interpreted.
