I think i know where it goes wrong =.= The Maya_Preset_Path is defined purely for the attribute editor, meanwhile, the nodePreset built-in command used by the render settings window to build its preset list. It completely ignores Maya_Preset_Path. So there are 2 ways i can work around with it :
I can set Maya_Preset_Path and using mel.applyPresetAttr, or move all the preset i had created using nodePreset into maya's preset folder. Anyway, thank you guys.
