Error when running large report to batch

When one of my users runs a larger report (500k+ lines) to batch, they receive the following error after about 2 hours:

Excel Rendering Extension: Number of rows exceeds the maximum possible in a worksheet of this version. Rows requested: 552994. Maximum rows: 65536.

Not sure why this is happening at this point.  My SysAdmin can run the same report and batch it to the exact same location (C:\Temp on the AOS machine) and it works fine.

UPDATE:
I forgot to post the solution here!  Turns out that my user's client was automatically adding a .xls extension to the excel file name for the batch.  Once we changed that to .xlsx, everything worked peachy!
