I'm having a similar problem:
$ smime_keys list
Couldn't open ~/.smime/certificates/.index: No such file or directory at
/usr/bin/smime_keys line 287.
It seems recent versions of mutt are doing an automatic tilde reduce
(home directory in path names is replaced with ~) and smime_keys doesn't
handle this:
$ mutt -Q smime_certificates
smime_certificates="~/.smime/certificates"
Attached is a small patch for smime_keys that does tilde expansion.
