I understand the confusion now - yes, the field does not populate with
the path because the local path is not important to web2py and the
server path is not important to the regular user. But it should not
error out on edit in any case.
You can look at the code for the appadmin for a good way to code this
or use the SQLFORM.grid which does this for you - but if the picture
is of primary importance, just showing it on the same page as the form
is a good way.
