Failed to Resolve Error in Android Studio 1.1

[Sal]

So I followed the directions for adding the .aar files to the lib folder of my project and then updating my gradle file but I keep getting an error for all of the .aar files in Android Studio. The error just says "Failed to resolve: <aar file name>". Here is my current gradle file, I've been tinkering and tweaking it all morning based on other examples and posts online but I don't know if it's a problem with the current version of Android Studio or how I'm setting it up. 

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.1'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}
android {

    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion '21.1.2'
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 2
        versionName "1.6"

    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
    compile files('src/main/libs/ksoap2-android-assembly-3.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar')
    compile files('src/main/libs/joda-time-2.3.jar')
    compile files('src/main/libs/gson-2.2.4.jar')
    compile files('src/main/libs/achartengine-1.2.0.jar')
    compile files('src/main/libs/ksoap2-android-assembly-3.3.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar')
    compile files('src/main/libs/pdfviewerlibrary.jar')
    compile(name:'Common-2014.3.1402-trial-release', ext:'aar')
    compile(name:'Primitives-2014.3.1402-trial-release', ext:'aar')
    compile(name:'Input-2014.3.1402-trial-release', ext:'aar')
    compile(name:'Chart-2014.3.1402-trial-release', ext:'aar')
    compile(name:'Feedback-2014.3.1402-trial-release', ext:'aar')
}

I may have found an alternate method for adding .aar files in Android Studio. First go to File -> New Module -> Import JAR or AAR Package. Then just pick the AAR file and it adds it's with no compile errors.
