Your syntax of the :set command is wrong; you should be getting errors, too. The += must not be surrounded by whitespace, and you cannot use an expression on the right-hand side. Better use the :let command; it can also modify Vim options (&optionname), not just variables:

let &path .= ",.," . s:WORKDIR . "/**"
