Hi  Guangliang,
  I think you have hit a feature in AIX that almost requires that every
shell script start with "#!/bin/<shell>". In your case nohup is running the
command with /bin/bsh which don't know nothin' about ~.
  But in general is much safer in AIX to declare what shell you want your
script to run under. You will find this especially true if you use csh and
write ksh scripts.
