Mine's always worked. I already had a "Developer" folder at the root 
level of the hard drive, so I just dropped the entire Android SDK in 
there along with the Apple stuff. My path in prefs is: 
/Developer/android-sdk-mac_x86

But it may not be the path that's wrong. Did you install all the SDK 
packages? There's some info here:

I didn't know what I was doing when I set up, so I just followed those 
instructions and used the Android 2.2 API 8 package to set up my virtual 
machine. Do you have a VM configured?
