I believe I've found what the issue is. After taking a closer look at LogCat I noticed there was a FileNotFound exception further down the stack, which makes no sense because the files are there - so I decided to move all my mdpi files into a folder named simply 'drawable' - and that sorted out the error, app seems to be working fine now. I presume the ldpi/mdpi/hdpi named drawable folders weren't used in in Android os versions prior to and including 2.0?
Anyway hope this helps someone.
