Reporting: Update server history - Failed (on login)

I have SQL Backup Pro 5 installed on three computers so far:
* My local PC: client only
* JOBSSERVER: SQL 2005 - used for running SQL Agent jobs and SQL Backup 5 reporting
* DEVSERVER: Development server with 2 SQL2000 instances and 1 SQL2005 instance
I set up the reporting database in a remote desktop session to JOBSSERVER and created a failed backup report for all instances on JOBSSERVER and DEVSERVER with no problem. When I tried to create a report from my local PC using the JOBSSERVER reporting database I got the error shown below. Let me know if there is any other information that might be of help.

Comments
Reporting uses Linked Servers to pull the data back off the remote servers - can you check the configuration in SQL Server Management studio of your linked servers and then try and address them from your source server directly when logged in via managmeent studio - you might need to tweak the impersonated login details for each of the linked servers - especially if using SQL Server Authentication rather than SSPI based authentication.
