I think the issue is that you need to supply a function to be invoked to
create the file name.
I tested your approach and found if you change the line to use a lambda
function
("Work Tasks" ?t "* TODO %U %?\n\n %i\n %a" (lambda() (concat
org-directory "tasks.org")))
seems to work. Make sure that your environment variable ends in a / so the
path is constructed correctly.
