I think the issue remains the need to use " " around strings with embedded spaces, rather than any lack of support for scalars.
Try
cd "`=mypath'"
-- as when the scalar is evaluated the spaces are now unprotected.

I want to have a do-file performed in a number of directories, but it turns
out that the change directory command cd does not accept string scalars.
Of course,
cd "c:\my data\stata"
works, but
scalar mypath="c:\my data\stata"
cd `=mypath'
does not. Does anyone know how to solve this?
