The second argument to execute() is a *sequence* of parameter values.
A string is a sequence of characters, so by passing a plain string you
are saying that each character of the string is a parameter to the
SQL.

Try adding braces around the parameter to make  list:
cur.execute("insert into test (name) values (?)", [sPath])
