Solved it, changed the link to be:
http://<ServerName>/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fAnalytical+Services%2fSample+Submission&sample=
<The variable is placed here>

Basically took this out "&rs:Command=Render"

It works, so I'm not investigating it anymore. Anyone who knows
anything about LABWARE LIMS knows to jump out of it once you're done.
It's like walking in quick sand, get out if you can!

Thanks for the tip on the colon.
