C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Data\Office Server\Applications
It should be :-
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\15.0\Data\Office Server\Applications
This causes search gather to fail as SP_SearchService account does not have access to the previous path so get a failure "The gatherer service cannot be initialized. Details: The Temp folder is on a drive that is full or is inaccessible. Free up space on the drive or verify that you have write permission on the Temp folder."

I found a solution here that worked fine.

In my case the solution was quite simple. The Temp folder is not the %WINDIR%\Temp or C:\Temp folder – it’s the location of the search index. I installed SP2013 with AutoSPInstaller (<= highly recommended!) with default values, then the index is located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Data\Office Server\Applications
If you provisioned the Search Service with my powershell script – then you can customized the Index Location with the $IndexLocation variable in the settings region.
I can’t tell yet if that problem is related to my installation –. I tried to get more information about this problem and it seems like this could happen if you relocated your index, too.
Now to fix the problem, modify the permissions of the Applications folder or the parent folder of your search location.
Grant the local WSS_WPG group at least modify permissions on the folder – in my screenshot I granted full control, it’s just a test system…
Then restart the Search Service
