The problem is that in the command you entered /home in the directory path to the file to be recovered. If you read the documentation for ext3grep it notes that since the filesystem has no idea where the partition is mounted you need to skip adding the mount point so try something like:

ext3grep /dev/sda6 --restore-file artyom/Ubuntu\ One/omegasoft-files-2/

this should work and not crash.
