I miss two things in the path toolbar. First there should be an up 
button. The second is that the top directory should have a widget too. 
In the example the path starts with home. So you can´t easily go up to 
the top.

In a separate thread I proposed a very different approach to path 
display and entry especially for spatial mode. You have a separate path 
input field with auto completion that could be implemented as a panel 
applet. This field always shows the path of the currently shown nautlius 
spatial folder. We could implement bash like completion in this window 
and open a new spatial folder when manual input is done. The advantage 
is that the spatial windows are not overloaded with ui elements. Perhaps 
this panel applet could also hold a central bookmarks menu.

Here is our discussion for reference:
