"Path does not exist"

First of all thank you for making this tool, it's exactly what I need (if I get it to work)!

Issue: following your exact instructions, I receive an error saying "line 73 Path does not exist" although the path does exist and I've made sure there are no spelling errors. What could be the issue here?

Thanks in advance!
