Johan,

This reminds me a lot of one of the things I really struggled with
when I started working with Larch.  It turns out that, when you use
larch as a puthon script (as opposed to running it through larch
itself), every damn thing needs the '_larch=mylarch' argument.

I am guessing (although I have not tried running your script) that
your problem is that the calls defining "pars" and "path1" need a
_larch=mylarch argument.

Although it seems pretty clear that you basically get how to use larch
for fitting exafs data, you may find some examples helpful.  Here is
one such: 
https://github.com/bruceravel/SCFtests/blob/master/Copper/Copper.py

Each of the materials at https://github.com/bruceravel/SCFtests/ has a
similar script in it.  In each case, the fit is wrapped inside of
function.  This is because that project is an automated testing
framework and, in each case, the fit is called by some other script.
But the structure of the fit is the same as what you are trying to
do.  Every call to a larch-y function needs a "_larch=mylarch".

Good luck,
B
