The error is on creation of the terrain output file, unrelated to the "snow.nc" 
file. I would go checking for the write permission, because the fortran program 
does not expand the "~" character into a valid path.

About the snow.nc file: we have added a way to initialize the snow amount in a 
run from the output SRF file of a previous run. The message "No snow.nc file to 
read" is just telling that the program will just put a void snow amount.
