That error indicates that the specified path, in this case "/stuckbykev", wasn't found in the linked account. If it's your own account, you can log in to the Dropbox web site to verify this.
If you're using an app with the full Dropbox permission, that would just be a folder named "stuckbykev" in the root of your account.
If you're using an app with the app folder permission, that would be a folder named "stuckbykev" in the app folder for the app in your account, which is at /Apps/<APP_NAME> by default, for accounts with the English locale.
