This question suggests that this problem occurs when you are using too much RAM.

This blog post suggests that you should lower the amount of RAM you allocated to your AVD.

As I mention here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14420779/1993898

I was able to fix this error by running AVD "as Administrator", therefore I believe this error to be related to filesystem permissions, or lack thereof.
