copyto using %path% string duplicates extension (.mp3.mp3)

Trying to figure out how to fix this issue through Foobar2000 instead of using bulk rename utility.

When I copy files using File Operations-->Copy To and use the string %PATH% (which from the foobar syntax page says it should:
"%path%
The complete path, including the filename and extension."

The files returned all have duplicate extensions in their names. Example:
1.mp3
turns into
1.mp3.mp3

I like everything about this string except the duplication of extension. Any ideas why it's doing this and how to get it to stop doing this?

Thanks
