How did you evaluate it? You should have Ebib running, then go to the
*scratch* buffer, type (or copy&paste) the expression and press C-j.

Better yet, before you do that, type `ebib-keywords-file` in the
*scratch* buffer and press C-j.

This is the output I get when I do that:

ebib-keywords-file
"~/Copy/Work/Bibtex/ebib.keywords"
(file-name-directory ebib-keywords-file)
"~/Copy/Work/Bibtex/"

Yours should be similar.

The thing is, given that `ebib-keywords-file` seems to be set, the only
way `ebib--keywords-files-alist` could be nil is if the function
`file-name-directory` for some reason doesn't produce the correct
output. 

> I get the wrong type argument after pressing 'K s'.

Yes, that makes sense. Ebib tries to push the keywords in the keywords
field of the current entry onto `ebib--keywords-files-alist`, but since
that variable is nil, it cannot do that.

Best,

Joost
