Thanks for the log. I've been seeing a few users with SDV Expanded have the same NPC path error. But, haven't had anyone get back to me for proper testing to narrow down the issue further.
I do see in your log SDV Expanded missing some map files:
Code:

You may want to see about forwarding this to the SDV Expanded page as there seems to be a few missing map files.
