I think there is an easier way to solve this issue:
Knife.rb (won't work)
cookbook_path [ '~/chef-repo/cookbooks', '~/chef-repo/site-cookbooks' ]
Knife.rb (works really good)
cookbook_path [ '/home/xxx/chef-repo/cookbooks', '/home/chef-repo/site-cookbooks' ]
I just use the absolute path for the cookbook..
Many thanks for your help :) But please explain your method.
Regards
Andreas
