Scheduled Refresh Issue - [0] 0: Model can not be refreshed for files not mapped to a network share

I have just  published my first reports to BI report server . One of which has 4 pages , for display purposed I have another 4 reports that are the individual pages of the first report (ie first report with pages deleted but exactly the same underlying data and design). They all run on a 3 minute schedule refresh.

I have noticed that they all fail intermittently at different times and they give the following error message:

"Data refresh failed. Please try again later or contact your administrator."

With the information giving error details:

"SessionID: 979d17a1-e778-4ba3-accb-e3f69575a904
[0] 0: Model can not be refreshed for files not mapped to a network share"

What am I doing wrong / how can I rectify these. at first they were all refreshing fine but now they have become divergent and therefore all show data from different times.

You're likely using a relative file path that the Report Server doesn't know how to resolve.

Get the DFS/UNC path.

Thanks

 

Ive cheked the paths and they look fine.

 

It recognises them and runs internmittently but then doesnt run 3 mins later then runs intermittently ongoing. Why would it recognise the paths one refresh then not the next?
