It looks to me like your quotes are getting lost somehow. I was able to use that very snippet on every Mac to which I have access.

Obviously, $HOME was expanded correctly, so that's not a problem, but there's something really odd about the double-quotes not being honored.

You might try the C-escape syntax (note prefixed $):

  cd $'/Users/byrnejb/Library/Application Support'

Which $SHELL are you using?

Does your shell rc file have any funky options set like rcquotes or nonstandard $IFS?
