The problem is that the code you've posted is not the whole story. When you 
create the path, it has some coordinate system within which it is referenced. 
You are using <pointCount> as some sort of dimensional quality of the path, 
which might be fine, but without seeing how the path is created it's hard to 
say.

When you transform the path, you transform it from its original coordinate 
system into a new coordinate system - therefore the original coordinate system 
matters greatly. In terms of scale, you should probably use [destination 
bounds].width / [path bounds].width for x, and [destination bounds].height / 
[path bounds].height for y scale factors, as I originally suggested. That way 
the actual size of the source coordinates is factored in whatever it is. That 
then just leaves you with the translation to deal with, for positioning the 
scaled path where you want it.
