Solved via another forum:
I was able to figure it out.
In the admin/includes/boxes/catalog.php there is a missing dot at the end of the line:
'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED . '</a><br>'.
In the admin/includes/boxes/reports.php there is a missing dot at the end of the line:
'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_STATS_CUSTOMERS, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_REPORTS_ORDERS_TOTAL . '</a><br>'.
