Issue Description:
<enter description here>

Steps to reproduce (if relevant, you MUST provide a simplified html page or
link to public site):
1. my code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "dir\\to\\my\\chromedriver.exe");
String userProfile= "C:\\Users\\heiq\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User 
Data\\Default\\";
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("user-data-dir="+userProfile);
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
2. it is expected to open a default browser with user data, but exactly open a 
clean browser.
3. my chromedriver log:
[1.140][INFO]: COMMAND InitSession {
   "desiredCapabilities": {
      "browserName": "chrome",
      "chrome.switches": [ "user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\heiq\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default\\", "--start-maximized" ],
      "chromeOptions": {
         "args": [ "user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\heiq\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default\\", "--start-maximized" ],
         "extensions": [  ]
      },
      "platform": "ANY",
      "version": ""
   }
}

[1.454][INFO]: RESPONSE InitSession {

   "takesHeapSnapshot": true,
   "takesScreenshot": true,
   "version": "41.0.2272.101",
   "webStorageEnabled": true
}
4. my chromedriver's version: 2.10.267521; and my chrome's version: 
41.0.2272.101.
5. it works in firefoxdriver:
        ProfilesIni pi = new ProfilesIni();
        FirefoxProfile profile = pi.getProfile("default");
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

-----Other helpful tips:
Attach your chromedriver log with verbose logging enabled (see
http://goo.gl/5Sx8mC for how to do this).

I am not able to reproduce the issue with latest version of chrome driver 2.14

Can you please try with the latest version?

Code-
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("user-data-dir=/usr/local/google/home/gmanikpure/Documents/
profile");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("chrome://version");   // => Here i can see the correct profile path
Thread.sleep(5000);
driver.get("chrome://settings"); // => Here i see the correct preferences 
enabled
