The problem is probably \addbibresource. The argument for this command requires 
a file extension (probably .bib in your case) since biber can access different 
kind of data. The <<File>> only seems to give the file name without suffix 
which is ok for bibtex. This can be easily resolved by using the traditional 
\bibliography command.
