I saw a very similar question to this from a couple of months ago where the poster managed to resolve it on his own, but his fix did not work in my case.

I'm reading from AutoCAD Map OD (multiple files) and writing to AutoCAD Map OD (single file). I've checked my template file and Shape File Folder Path and they all seem to be fine, so I don't understand this error or why my workspace won't run.

Hi @garyb Are you trying to create a template from your workspace and the source data isn't getting added? Can you attach your workspace here? If not, please send it to https://www.safe.com/support/report-a-problem/ Thanks!

Hi Dan. No I'm not trying to create a template from my workspace, the template I mentioned is a CAD file being reference in the parameters of the Writer. I tore this all down and spent most of the day working on it yesterday and it seems to be coming down to a single AutoCAD Block in the template file. When I purge it out the workspace runs fine and when I add it back in it fails. There's nothing unusual about this one block (very simple 4 lines and a string of text) so I can't figure out why it is a problem, but I do think I've got it narrowed down to that now.
