Ah yes! I'll have a go at fixing that tomorrow.
Here we go - hopefully this will work!
https://beta.rclone.org/branch/v1.52.0-024-g973e3d6a-fix-config-files-beta/ (uploaded in 15-30 mins)
Seems to work on macOS
, but it's no Linux build, så I can't test it there.
Great!
I gave the build a kick - hopefully in 15-30 mins there will be linux binaries!
Works! Thank you! 
Great thanks for testing 
I've merged this to master now which means it will be in the latest beta in 15-30 mins and released in v1.53
