Excel 2013 - Getting challenged for username and password

Error message : "A connection to the SharePoint site cannot be established.  To synchronize or refresh your table, you must be able to connect to the SharePoint site"


Background story :

We are using SharePoint 2010 and have several Excel spreadsheets that have data connections in them that use a SharePoint list to refresh data (not using excel services).  The Excel spreadsheets are stored in a SharePoint document library and the site is a trusted location.  All of our users have at least read access to the library as well as the SharePoint lists where the data is stored.  Some of the lists are coming from a site that is in a different site collection than where the Excel spreadsheet is stored.
Our problem is this:  Our users that are running Excel 2010 can open and refresh the data just fine.  Our users running Excel 2013 are constantly challenged for user name and password (it does not accept it when it is entered) and the data does not refresh.  The error message is "A connection to the SharePoint site cannot be established.  To synchronize or refresh your table, you must be able to connect to the SharePoint site".    Then it tells you which data range failed to refresh.  When you click OK, it goes on to the next connection that it cannot connect to and repeats the process until you have gone through all of the connections.
No permissions have been changed and these users could access the spreadsheet before being upgraded to Office 2013.  They are using Windows 7, Service Pack 1.  I am the farm administrator and am able to open the spreadsheet in Excel 2013.  I've tried increasing the user's permissions but it still won't open for them.

Solution :

Grant the permission to user/group to the SitePages Document Library
