I have the exact same problem. APKTool 1.4.3, Win 7 64-bit, Android 4.1.1

So I think I understand the issue here.  It comes from using a manifest that 
has unix style directory structures, but recompiling on a Windows machine.

Taking the error: "invalid resource directory name: 
c:\apktool\SystemUI\res/drawable-sw600dp"

Resource paths from the manifest will be built in the style 
"res/drawable-sw600dp", which is then appended to the current working directory 
(c:\apktool\SystemUI\) resulting in a path of 
"c:\apktool\SystemUI\res/drawable-sw600dp"

However this is not a valid path in Windows -- that "/" between res and 
drawable should be a "\"

I'm fairly new to Android so I can't say if this is an aapt issue or a manifest 
issue (feel free anyone else to chime in), but I am fairly certain the issue is 
in this area.

Your aapt is out of date. 

invalid resource directory names have to do with aapt. Nothing to do with 
Apktool.

Your aapt is out of date. That is the problem. Go check ALL your aapts. This is 
not a bug.
