DBPATH is your unix environment variable and SQL-Plus does not recognize the unix environment variable, that is why you are getting this error.

Specify the actual value of DBPATH in your SPOOL command and you will be okay.

Unix environment variables are not available inside SQL-Plus at SQL> prompt.

Hope this helps,
