How to upload a .rdl report to CRM 2011

I have downloaded one of the system generated reports from CRM 2011, it saved as a .RDL file which I then opened and modified.

My question is, how do I then upload the modified report back to CRM. I have tried using the report wizard and searching for the existing file however it just kicks back an error message:

Query Build Error:
The specified record type does not exist in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

It has not been developed on the SSRS or using BIDS, and I haven't created it using FETCH, all I have done is save the report to my desktop, modify some of the record names and then try to upload it again.

It is starting to annoy me now because having searched through the length of google and nearly every post I have seen has stated this is the exact way to upload custom reports.

Is there any reason why it is not working for me?
