Mac Osx Client Start With --Config Exits Immediately

[thatcher]

When trying to start the bittorrent sync client with --config, to use the API on Mac OS X Mavericks the client just exits immediately. No output is given on stdout, no log is written in /Users/<me>/Library/Application Support/BitTorrent Sync/sync.log nothing. No hints.

 

If I run the same command without --config it runs just fine and properly starts the client (with UI) as expected. 

 

I'm using the latest  1.3.109, but for sakes of testing also tried a 1.3.106 I found. 

 

See below for relevant details. Help?

 

Thanks in advance!

Ok. I found the issue: "storage_path" cannot be ~/, it has to be some absolute path. At least the linux version gaves me a warning. It would be great if that warning can be added to the mac binary.
