[slurm-users] cleanup script after timeout

[Brian Andrus]

You prompted me to dig even deeper into my epilog. I was trying to 
access a semaphore file in the user's home directory.

It seems that when the epilogue is run the ~ is not expanded in anyway. 
So I can't even use ~${SLURM_JOB_USER} to access their semaphore file.

Potentially problematic for any sites with homes in different locations 
or accounts with non-standard homes, but at least what I needed to do 
can work.
