Mdworker : (Warning) Import : Bad path:

[Cabriolet]

Just want to share my solved issue:
I got the title mentioned warning in system log constantly every second.

I solved this issue by adding my (dual-boot) windows partition(which is NTFS) into System Preferences\Spotlight\Privacy

The problem is MacOS/Spotlight indexing cannot handle partition in NTFS/FAT32 format, which is windows stuff.

Hope someone could find it useful...

You can also create a file in the root with name: ".metadata_never_index"
