Please see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979782(v=exchg.141).aspx

The copies of a DAG database cannot be on separate paths. That is why there is no way to specify it when adding a copy of a database (you must specify paths when creating databases, however). Once established, you cannot change the paths of an individual copy. If you do change it for the database, the path must exist on all servers that will hold a copy.

Thus, to answer your question, the first query you ran in your example shows the path for logs and databases of the active and all passive copies.

The title says you'd like to get the file/folder paths of the EDB and logs, but I think you already found that (from the first example).

If you'd like to get the folder path of the database copies (of a DAG), they are the same as the 'primary' database.

DAG database and log paths MUST be the same on all servers that hold a copy of the database (although the underlying storage does not need to be the same).
