Well I could speculate about all the different problems this could be caused by,
or you could provide more detail.
Let's go with that.

How do you know the script doesn't input the data correctly?
and why do you think it doesn't?
Where is the code that performs this?
How are you running the script?

Directory path should be no different than any other string.
I'm guessing it has to do with backslashes but I'll wait until you explicate.
