I use that in a macro without issue, never tried in a transformation. Any errors in your event log? Maybe try:

<%# EvalText("NodeAliasPath").... %>

Here's my macro syntax:

{% "/" + CurrentDocument.NodeAliasPath.Split("/")[1] + "/Mobile.aspx" @%}

This is the error. I could have sworn I had done this before in previous version.
