Hi Andy- You don't provide enough information to help you here. You'll need to show a larger image of your board with other layers enabled and, ideally set with some transparency so that we can see what's happening.
Connectivity _only_ applies to copper. So the paste-only pads shouldn't have any connections unless you also made them copper. Did you follow Rene's instructions on the user forum? -S Am Sa., 14.
