I think you are right that we need to disambiguate the path tag. To try and keep voting and any consensus clear I'll make one proposal per answer.
I propose that a file-path tag be created by renaming (via a merge, using a moderator tool) the pathname tag.
I would not create tags for relative-path and absolute-path because I see these being synonyms of the file-path tag (at the somewhat level of granularity we use for when new tags are warranted).
Any questions about file paths which are currently tagged with the ambiguous path would be retagged to file-path.
