Unable to load settings from ConfigPath on linux #41

Tried on two different machines, same problem. It creates the directory just fine, but does not populate it with cfg files. Here's the terminal output:

First run:
$ emulationstation
ConfigPath /home/user/.config/emulationstation
Creating config directory "/home/user/.config/emulationstation"
Couldn't load settings from "/home/user/.config/emulationstation%

Second run:
ConfigPath /home/user/.config/emulationstation
Couldn't load settings from "/home/user/.config/emulationstation%

Things I've tried:
Changing permissions on folder and files to umask 7777
Creating a es_systems.cfg in config folder
Running as root
Passing the path to ES with --config-directory

Environment:
Arch linux armv7h (Raspberry Pi 2 model B) and Arch linux x64

EDIT:
Adding the cfg files to the folder manually as described in #31 fixes the issue.
