$ rr ps

rr: error: Version file for recorded trace `/home/user/.rr/latest-trace/version' not found.  Did you record
           `/home/user/.rr/latest-trace/version' with an older version of rr?  If so, you'll need to replay
           `/home/user/.rr/latest-trace/version' with that older version.  Otherwise, your trace is
           likely corrupted.

To avoid confused first-time users, it should probably detect this case and print a more useful error message (something along the lines of "No traces have been recorded yet").
