I haven't tried compiling this myself - but from past experience I suspect
that you will have to replace path with *path here due to the vagaries of
the 'standard call'.  Another workaround is to copy the information in
path into a variable declared with the 'standard' filename type - (don't
recall what it is.  Hope this works
