I'm running SAS 9.4 on a 64 bit PC (Windows 8.1 Pro).
Code I'm submitting:
proc export data=cluster_snapshot outfile="G:\Departments\Research\test scores\act\yr2.\State Test Reporting\reports\SCDE Release by School\20&yr2. ACT SCDE Release for Cluster Snapshots.xlsb"
dbms=excelcs replace;
run;
Error Message I'm getting:
ERROR: CLI error trying to establish connection: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error
Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x1e54 Thread 0x1554
DBC 0x2c276c4 Excel'.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
Connection Failed. See log for details.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: PROCEDURE EXPORT used (Total process time):

I run proc export a lot and have never gotten this error.
Try DBMS=XLSX and using XLSX instead of xlsb?
I will note that I didn't get an error using SAS 9.4 TS1M3 (64 bit) on Windows 7 using your exact code.
1 proc export data=sashelp.class outfile="C:\_LOCALdata\temp\temp.xlsb"
2 dbms=excelcs replace;
3 run;

Look at the bolded part of your code:
="G:\Departments\Research\test scores\act\yr2.\State Test Reporting\reports\SCDE Release by School\20&yr2. ACT SCDE Release for Cluster Snapshots.xlsb"
Is that first yr2. supposed to be the same &yr2. ?
the error is likely that the path you resolve to without the macro complains about the . in the path.
That macro variable was not a global variable. I fixed it and it works fine. Thanks!
