Just read it again with Path it is a bnit different. 

You need to have the path active

checkout the 2 screenshot.

If it is a path you can activate it and it does not matter if you are on a certain layer. 

If you create a shape layer and need to transform you need to be on the layer the shape is. 

Look at the screenshot Below I am on the wrong layer. Got the error message.

Hope it helps.

Can you send us a screenshot?

Also check your channels and make sureyou are on the correct RGB channel...and on the correct layer.
