Quick thought: Are you sure there are no "special" (?) chars like  
german umlauts or accents etc...
in the pathname. In that case you will get that error...

This was my offending foldername:

.../MMRR für alle/...

After renaming it to:

.../MMRR for all/...

i had no more trouble with the standalonebuilder...

Its a bug and already "bugzilla"-d..
One of my two personal bugs :-)

Hope that helps...
