yas-snippets not loading

Question

While yas-snippet itself loads, the snippets do not. I tried loading them manually and using the following in my init, but neither loads any snippets. What could be the issue?

(require 'yasnippet)
(setq yas-snippet-dirs
      '("~/.emacs.d/snippets"                 ;; personal snippets
        ))
(yas-global-mode 1)

UPDATE:

Removing

(setq yas-snippet-dirs
      '("~/.emacs.d/snippets"                 ;; personal snippets
        ))

fixed the problem.
