Looks like the Excel Interface expects paths with windows-style slashes for the file path. So I made a test model (so that modeldir() becomes valid) and then used string.replace() on the slashes:

excelcreateworkbook();
excelsetsheet("Sheet1");
excelwritenum(1,1,1);
excelsave(modeldir().replace("/", "\\", 1) + "NewWorkBook.xlsx");
excelclose(0);

With this change, it seems to work.

I'll add a case to the dev list to improve this in the future.
