Migrate to Mac OS X. I can't imagine how you can get a colon (':') into 
the path name otherwise ...

The problem is that you make awk only use the first 'word' -- and words 
are usually separated by white space. You need to make awk accept 
NEWLINE as 'Field Separator.' Try this:

\immediate\write18{pwd |
awk -F'\\n' '{print "\\newcommand{\\path}{" $1 "\\xspace}"}' > 
tmpdatei.tex}

No. There are no umlauts. You can put umlauts into your TeX files, but 
Mac OS X returns decomposed UTF-8 characters. So an umlaut usually is 
[aeiouyAEIOUY]¨.
