You should ask questions about SciTE or even Lua script files in the 
SciTE-Interest group...

Ths is an interesting extension, although I have not tested it yet.

So I suppose you are on Linux or some other Unix flavor.

Looking at extman.lua, line 266, there is indeed a path variable, 
declared at the start of the same function: scite_Files
There is a bug: if PLAT_GTK constant is defined, path isn't set, hence 
the error.
I think the routine is an attempt to get a list of files, using system 
commands.

I have no time to analyse further, but you can try to add a line like:
path = ''
in the PLAT_GTK branch, and see if it works.

Otherwise, try and ask in the SciTE list, the original author is there.
