Nope. I got started on a re-read of the series recently and just finished
Taltos last night. I think what you're remembering here is the conversation
where Morollan is deciding on which way to go and tells Vlad that he might
have been better off going without him. The reason being that each House has
its own paths to the Paths, so to speak. Sethra was a Dzurlord (whether she
was born into that house or not). By virtue of that and probably also by
virtue of just being Sethra she would have given Vlad different paths to
follow than those Morollan, being a Dragonlord, would have to follow.
References to Morollan's memories here are pretty much restricted to
comments on his ability to remember the "guidebook" that he had to memorize
before setting out. Nothing to do with a previous trip through the Paths.

Oh, and on a tangent here - After this latest re-read of Taltos it was clear
that Vlad and Loiosh knew Sethra was a vampire long before Vlad ever went to
Dzur Mountain. The "Boss she's a vampire" comment was more a discussion of
motives than any comment on Sethra's appearance. I'll withdraw my theory
that Sethra is obviously a vampire to the naked eye at that point, other
than her pallor and such.
