<xsl:template match="path">
  <xsl:variable name="p" select="string-join(tokenize(., '/')[position() lt last()], '/')"/>
</xsl:template>

should do.

Try something like this:

<xsl:variable name="tokens" select="tokenize(.,'/')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$tokens[not(.=$tokens[last()])]" separator="/"/>

This assumes the current context is path.
