Ah, it works if I use the full path /Users/olalonde/.passwd-s3fs instead of ~/.passwd-s3fs...

The shell expands tildes but only when they are the leading character of a string.

Makes sense... would be a good idea to update -o passwd_file=~/.passwd-s3fs in the README, maybe -o passwd_file=$HOME/.passwd-s3fs?

On my system, passwd_file=~/.passwd-s3fs will work fine but will fail if the path has quotes surrounding it passwd_file="~/.passwd-s3fs"
