Running on Linux I found I needed the following in my .emacs:

(setq org-directory "~/dropbox/org/org_files")
(setq org-mobile-directory "~/dropbox/MobileOrg")
(setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull 
"~/dropbox/org/org_files/tasks/org_inbox.org")

Have you got all these set? Somewhere there is a possible bug where a 
misleading error message gets displayed referring to 
org-mobile-directory, when it means org-directory. I keep meaning to try 
and track it down.
