That error could be phrased better...

If you don't have a . element, you probably have an empty element
(which is what the '' is trying to say).  For example:

/usr/bin:/bin::/home/ross/bin

The :: after /bin is bad, and it's this which needs to be removed.
This is normally due to bad concatenation when extending $PATH.
