Thanks Jonathan
The error was - it was objecting to a graphics file which had spaces in  the
name.
You might ask why this worked on previous builds? Well I remember once just
after updating the android-sdk using monodevelop instead of VS2010.
It appears that MonoDevelop has changed the build flags on several files
from none to content or build.
The offending graphics file was not part of this project but had acquired
content flag.

Thanks for your pointer - it helped enormously

Clean + Rebuild your solution.

The MSBuild output is visible in View > Output pad. Look through the MSBuild
output and look for "aapt"; the actual aapt-generated error should be
(somewhere) in there. What is it?
