There is nothing wrong with your board concerning connectivity. Although you have overlaps on your silkscreen. I would also advise to use a ground plane on both sides of your board. I would also recommend not using the E$ names. Name them something that will tell what they are. Like resistors should be R1, R2, ect… Capacitors are C1, C2, etc… I also hope you put the values in on your schematic. Otherwise you will forget what they are when you actually have your board in your hand.

That error could be a website error. I can tell you that BatchPCB blows. Look through the forum here, you will see a ton of people having problems with that site. If this is your first PCB, use [[OSH Park](http://oshpark.com/). They are cheap and there quality cannot be beat. When you upload the files, it will show a rendering of your board before you buy.]([http://oshpark.com/](http://oshpark.com/))
