Could not read from source, has it moved error?

I have been using AE to ME for a while, however, I have come across a new error that fails all nearly renders. I updated both ME and AE to the most recent build and tried multiple projects, both resaved, moved, conciliated files. and I can't find a solution.  

 

It takes ages trying to connect to dynamic link server and then fails by the looks of it. The strange bit is, out of the 20 times I have tried rendering, it successfully rendered twice. Before the errors started, I was able to render out 100% of the time with no problems. I can't see anything has changed.

 

What's going on, any help is appreciated!

Folder names with special dingbat characters on a synced web storage? That's calling for trouble. Start by rendering outside this weird name hierarchy and then move the files to the folder. Your workflow simply makes no sense.
