I have a really weird issue I hope someone can help with.
It's difficult to even explain because it's so strange, but I will try to be concise.
This is the error message:

I only get the error message on the product view page, everywhere else it's fine. The path can't be wrong because it works on all pages except product view page. Likewise the code inside those templates can't be the issue as it works on all other pages.
If I create those block(s) somewhere else on the page they work fine albeit in the wrong place, so the problem is isolated to the footer. The block also work fine if I've already used the template somewhere else, for example if something in the header used the same template then all of a sudden they start working in the footer.
I've tried literally everything I can think of to try and get around this but nothing viable works.
**** UPDATE ****
A separate issue I am having may have shed some light on this, I wanted to move the reviews on the product page out of the tab and edit the template but for some reason I can't get my review.phtml to take precedence over the core review.phtml, so maybe on my product view page there is an issue where Magento is not looking beyond the core files for templates and that's why it's complaining about my missing template files.
Does anyone know what might cause that?
