The '~/' at the front of the path shouldn't be there.

Also, you need quote the argument; the DBF driver performs run-time
substitutions of GRASS variables. Without quoting, the shell will try
to expand them, and they aren't defined. IOW:

	'database=$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/'

Note: you need to use single quotes, as the shell will expand
variables inside double quotes.
