Stupid question: Isn't the last argument in this file superflous?
If my admin decides to move my home directory, then I have a problem.

The home directory is available via getpwent()-API on all
relevant systems. For the rest this argument should be optional.

If parsing it results in "" , then coldsync should use the
things ftom getpwent(), else it should use what provided and fall
back to "/tmp/" or bail out.
