[ Caveat: I've never used org-ref ]
org-ref's 0383cc2 (support multiple pdf directories, 2016-06-10) updated
org-ref-pdf-directory to accept a list value, so your value is valid,
but...

... doi-utils-get-bibtex-entry-pdf wasn't updated for that (+cc the
author of that commit and John Kitchin).
It looks like org-ref-pdf-directory still supports a string, though, and
you only have one item, so you should be able to work around the issue
with
(setq org-ref-pdf-directory
"/Users/doyley/Dropbox/Filing_Cabinet/B/refs/pdf/")
