Can't build cordova projects

I have a problem with setting up the work environment for Cordova on Windows 7 for Android. I use NetBeans 8 and followed this guide: Link Here New project -> Cordova -> Hello World Template.

Whenever I try to build a Cordova project (in NetBeans) I get this message:

    BUILD FAILED

I have googled it for hours but can't seem to find a solution. Some people get some of the same errors(not exact, but similar), but the solutions did not work for me. One issue was regarding Java 8 and ant versions beneath 1.9.0 (I use Node 0.10.26, java 1.7.0_25, cordova 3.5.0-0.2.4 and ant 1.9.4). I also tried to create a new project with the console (CMD), but it gives the exact same error when I build. It's no problem to create the project, nor adding Android as a platform, the problem is building the project. I think the environment variables are set correctly since the java, node, ant and cordova commands work fine in cmd/powershell, and the check_reqs.bat said that the environment was fine.

It's this line that creates the error: <import file="${sdk.dir}/tools/ant/build.xml" />. This is the rest of the message: Cannot find C:\Users\Administrator\SkyDrive\Skolegang\Dataingeniør\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\tools\ant\build.xml imported from C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\NetBeansProjects\HTML5Application2\platforms\android\build.xml.

Here is the error I get in the command window (not using NetBeans):

PS C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\test\fakeApp> cordova build android

Running command: C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\test\fakeApp\platforms\android\cordova\build.bat
Buildfile: C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\test\fakeApp\platforms\android\build.xml

I thought maybe it was a path issue since I have a special letter in the path were the NetBeansProjects are stored (and it's pretty long too), but creating a test directory at C:\ and creating the project with the command window gave the same error. I'm new at Cordova so I'm sure there's an easy solution, thanks in advance.

I solved it, though I tried to create a cordova project outside the OneDrive folder I did not think of the SDK path (which also were stored in OneDrive). By moving the SDK files to C: (the path could probably not contain the special letter 'ø') and changing the path of the environment variables (and the SDK path in NetBeans) it now runs perfectly.
