Works for me, which says that the problem is either with your shell or
depends on the version of john you have. Neither of which you say.
$ john --session=DD --wordlist=~/x --pot=xyz.pot --format=raw-md5 y000
Loaded 10 password hashes with no different salts (Raw MD5 [SSE2i 10x4x3])

trying: redhat - rhel
$ rpm -q bash john
bash-4.1.2-8.el6.x86_64
john-1.7.9-1jumbo5.el6.x86_64
So something in your shell is not expanding the items when it hands it
off to the program.
