Hi John,

I've set it at follows (based on your setup) in my init.el file:

(setq org-ref-bibliography-notes "~/../Dropbox/_biblio/org-ref/bibnotes.org"
      org-ref-default-bibliography '("~/../Dropbox/_biblio/refs.bib"))

So, non-nil.

That looks like a different error that occurs in  org-ref-open-bibtex-notes(). Up to that point everything looks normal.

What do you have your org-ref-bibliography-notes variable set to? The default value is nil which would cause that error.
