Thank you, it seems that you're right, it's not completing the expansion, 
but in the research I did, I wasn't able to make anything else work (one 
suggestion had to do with double quotes instead of single quotes, but 
wasn't able to get that to work either).  I don't know if it's related to 
it being a parameter that was specified at build this is not allowing it to 
expand?

I looked at the link you sent but didn't really understand "using a 
closure" as the answer states.  I tried to imitate it using this code below 
but it still didn't expand:

def fp = { filepath -> "${filepath}" }
println fp(filepath)
