Have you tried using the 'divide and conquer' approach? Delete a section 
of the board, see if the short remains (ignoring those 'not found' 
errors). Delete another section see if remains. Keep going until you 
zero in on a region where the fault is.  Then start cutting down that 
section. Eventually, you will find the problem.
