Even when it doesn't need to use the datadir:

$ HOME=/no/such/folder bitcoin-cli -rpcconnect=1.1.1.1 -rpcuser=a -rpcpassword=b

************************
EXCEPTION: N5boost10filesystem16filesystem_errorE       
boost::filesystem::create_directories: Permission denied: "/no/such/folder"       
bitcoin in AppInitRPC()

Is this intentional?
