[Casper] Bash Scripts using ~

[Ryan Harter]

Are you using default home directories?  We are using ADmit Mac here  
so our User directories are in /Domain/UWSP.EDU/Users/.  I would say  
you should also try hard coding the script, so maybe something like  
this:

#!/bin/bash

mkdir /Users/testUser/Desktop/hardcodeTest

mkdir /Users/$3/Desktop/variableTest
