Yes.  you can not set "word-list-path" directly.  If you bothered to check
the return value you would of noticed that it returned an error condition.
>From section 4.4 of the Pspell manual:

  <list> options can not be set directly, you must use the option
  add-<option> to add an item to the list, rem-<option> to remove an
  item, or rem-all-<option> to remove all the items. In the case of
  rem-all-<option> the value should be an empty string.

PS: I CC the pspell-user mailing list as that is the appropriate mailing
list to post Pspell questions on not aspell-user.
