Is there a way to cut paths like this in a command?

You can't use {sourcepath} etc. in the script directly.

If you are calling a separate .VBS file then you should pass {sourcepath} etc. as arguments to the script. An example which does that is here:

[One Hotkey for 2 commands)

If you want to avoid having a separate .VBS file and want the script to exist in the button itself then, at the moment, you have to abuse the Rename Scripting feature. Information on that can be found here:
