Section Wizard Errors

I have tried to make a unique section using the section wizard. I have no problem creating the shape, exporting to STAAD, adding it to a new user table and then assigning. However when I try to run a simple analysis just to see if it will correctly associate and analyze the shape I get 2 errors saying (1) that the file cannot be found - although the .upt file is located in the same folder as the STAAD model, and (2) that the section properties cannot be read - however I calculated them in the section wizard and can open the .upt file with notepad. Why is the file not found or readable?  

My input file is as follows:

STAAD SPACE

ENGINEER DATE 23-Aug-17

END JOB INFORMATION

INPUT WIDTH 79

UNIT INCHES KIP

JOINT COORDINATES

1 0 0 0; 2 10 0 0;

The files are all located in C:\User\nbrooks\STAAD I am not sure why it does not print the entire location name, is that part of the problem?
