Any idea what might be happening?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Does your dataset connect to SSAS? If this SSAS data source changed or lost, you cannot open this file.

I would suggest taking it off of the shared drive and moving it to your desktop and trying again.  Sounds like either a corrupt file or maybe the shared drive is giving you some connection/access issues.
