The iRule you posted was using HTTP_REQUEST. So you were inserting cookies in the requests proxied to the pool members--not the response. Paths, domains and other cookie attributes are only included when the cookie is set in replies back to the client. These properties dictate how and when the server would like the client to send the cookies.
