Ian, thanks for your e-mail. 

I have the following configuration, which doesn´t seems to defer in concept with 
yours:

;; Set to the location of your Org files on your local system
(setq org-directory "~/DropBox/org")
;; Set to the name of the file where new notes will be stored
(setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull "~/DropBox/org/flagged.org")
;; Set to <your Dropbox root directory>/MobileOrg.
(setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/MobileOrg")

Which could be the reason why Windows isn´t locating the path to the existing 
directory? Do I need to have any specific configuration on .emacs for Mac and 
for Windows?

regards, 

Orlando
