This error message indicates that your API app has the "app folder" access type, but you're supplying the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header. For example, in the Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK, you might be setting that via the pathRoot option on the Dropbox object.
Apps with the app folder access type are restricted to their own app folder, and so cannot access other roots. That being the case, you should not attempt to set another path root when using an access token for an app with the app folder access type, so don't set the pathRoot option.
Also, regarding your path value, note that you should not include the path to your app folder itself. To access a file in your app folder, you would just use a path relative to the app folder, like "/MyImage.jpg".
