FVWM: PipeRead problem

fvwm-2.5.4

I have the following line in a configuration file

PipeRead 'for i in Menu/*.men; do echo read $i; done'

which produces the following error message in my ~/.xsession-errors:

[FVWM][Read]: <<ERROR>> file 'Menu/*.men' not found in \
/home/norvell/.fvwm or /usr/share/fvwm

Yet there is a directory in my .fvwm directory named Menu in which are
files with men as the extension. If I change the PipeRead command to:

PipeRead 'for i in $HOME/.fvwm/Menu/*.men; do echo read $i; done'

fvwm does what I need it to. What's wrong with my first PipeRead?
Thanks for any answers.
