The current issue is that ../../anything means one thing if you are in the
flex root directory and another thing if you are in
{flex-home}/frameworks.  /abosolute/path/anything means the same thing in
any of the flex subdirectories.


The checkintests ant task needs the flashplayer to run the tests.  If you
are building the sdk presumably that means you are doing development which
means you should run checkintests before submitting code or a patch.  If
you will never run checkintests then you don't need to set
FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER.
