As an aside, it's probably best practice to define in your config file,
rather than hard-coding into your code. That won't be a cause of your
problem though.

Have you tried using an absolute path? Or even tried something with open
permissions like "/tmp"?

Do you get any warnings here? TBH, I don't even know if the precedence
of the operators there will work correctly. I would always use "or"
instead of "||" in a situation like that.

It would also be worth doing a "warn 'test'" to check that your warnings
are being logged somewhere that you can see them.
