Your example may have worked if you had used $(currentTiddler)$. The $(variable)$ syntax is used when you have an external variable that you want to insert in a string. The $argument$ syntax is used when you are passing an argument to a macro.
If all you want to do is create a unique tiddler path for each macro instance, you might consider using the qualify macro (https://tiddlywiki.com/#qualify%20Macro ) Good luck!
