You can also create this file with the tuxpaint-config tool which comes
in its own package in Debian.
Also, the stamps comes in its own package.

I guess you have Tuxpaint 0.9.20 (a bit outdated) which is what comes
with Debian stable, if I recall right, it has a bug with the "~" symbol
in the directory path.

You can either write the full path in the .tuxpaintrc file or try to
install tuxpaint 0.9.21 from  testing or try compile and install by
yourself.
