Apologies, I just stumbled over this old topic and realised that I never replied.
The two previous scripts were misnamed, they only batch copied the top/first pathItem[0] from the source to the destination documents.
This updated code will copy all paths, whether the count is 1, 2, 3 or more.

Batch Copy All Paths from JPEG to PSD Files - 2 Input Folders.jsx
v1.0 - Stephen Marsh, 21st April 2024
Batch processing added to the following base script:
