Never mind... I didn't read far enough down my inbox to see the SOLVED
section of the thread.

It looks to me like your quotes are getting lost somehow. I was able to use
that very snippet on every Mac to which I have access.
Obviously, $HOME was expanded correctly, so that's not a problem, but there's
something really odd about the double-quotes not being honored.
You might try the C-escape syntax (note prefixed $):
cd $'/Users/byrnejb/Library/Application Support'
Which $SHELL are you using?
Does your shell rc file have any funky options set like rcquotes or
nonstandard $IFS?

No OSX here either, but just to be sure, could you publish the results of:
which cd; echo $?
locate cd | grep '/cd'$; echo $?
ls -ldb ~/Library/Application*

I had already tried many different ways of specifying the target directory
before giving up and asking for help.
The suggestions concerning a cd alias seem promising because at one time I had
RVM installed, which does override cd. There is no alias present but there are
artefacts of rvm scattered about so I will check these.
Thanks for the help.
