I think I've never used the smtpd_sasl_path in my postfix configs; from 
postfix docs:

"Search path for Cyrus SASL application configuration files, currently used 
only to locate the $smtpd_sasl_path.conf file. Specify zero or more 
directories separated by a colon character, or an empty value to use Cyrus 
SASL's built-in search path."

So I reckon the parameter has to be directory without any filename part , 
but if the config file is in default place, parameter can be left unset.

You're welcome, glad I was of assistance.
