What about this?

(defun org-show-olpath ()
  "Show the outline path."
  (interactive)
  (let (p h)
    (save-excursion
      (while (and (setq h (ignore-errors (org-get-heading t t)))
		  (org-up-heading-safe))
	(setq p (concat h "/" p)))
      (setq p (concat (org-get-heading t t) "/" p)))
    p))

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
          (lambda() (add-to-list 'mode-line-format
                                 '(:eval (org-show-olpath)) t)))
