I am not sure from what you have stated if the data source has specified credentials.

This part here:

            XML
            
          

Generally speaking with SQL data sources when reports fail to view for others or from applications it is due to the hosting server assuming a different credential than your IDE building the application. It does not know if my name is Brett, that my credentials are running it when calling it remotely. When you specify the credentials on the server hosting the report you can usually get around this. You go into the server hosting the report, I assume you are doing this as you have an 'rdl' report versus an rdlc report. Find the datasource, click properties, change setting to be 'use these credentials'. Supply credentials that you know work.

This may fix the issue. I am not certain with Sharepoint connections and XML connections but this is common with viewing issues with SQL Server connections.
