Did a little research. \input@path is in src/Buffer.cpp, but since 2.0.1
another method has been introduced /see below/.
It, however, doesn't seem to work for biber, no .bib files are found.
So, any idea why \input@path exports, or should export
{"/home/user/dir ecto ry"/}
instead of simple
/home/user/dir ecto ry/
src/Buffer.cpp:
os << "\\makeatletter\n"
<< "\\def\\input@path{{"
<< docdir << "/}}\n"
<< "\\makeatother\n";
What's new in version 2.0.1?
----------------------------
We would like to highlight the improved handling of external files
referenced from ERT. This may cause issues for those who made use of the
undocumented \input@path hack. See the ANNOUNCE file again for how to do
things the new way. New methods for calling external scripts should also
solve several issues on Windows.
What's new in LyX 2.0.1
=======================
The support for using external files in ERT has been improved by the
introduction of a prefix for the TEXINPUTS environment variable.
This prefix can be set in preferences and by default includes the
document directory (represented by a single '.'). The prefix can
be set to any list of paths separated by the default separator for
a given platform (':' on unix like systems and ';' on windows).
When a file should be included by LaTeX, the paths listed in TEXINPUTS
will be searched in turn for finding it. Note that any non-absolute
path listed in the TEXINPUTS prefix is considered to be relative to the
document directory, i.e., the directory where the LyX file lives.
Users are advised to always include '.' (the document dir) as one of
the path components, otherwise compilation may fail for some documents.
This is because the previous (undocumented) mechanism based on the use
of the \input@path macro has been dropped. The old mechanism did not
work in all cases and was kind of a hack. Old documents using that
undocumented hack for obtaining the path of the LyX file will have to
be revised. A clean way for obtaining the document path is using the
info inset through the "info-insert buffer path" LyX function.

Why does \input@path end with two slashes, as in
/home/user/directory//
and why is its output
"/home/user/dir ectory/"/
(note quotation marks, and two separate ending slashes) when the folder
name contains spaces?
