If AA is showing 45,000 mile seats available, those cannot be booked through BA using Avios. AFAIK, awards at that level can only be booked using AA miles.
The problem here is that AA is using married sector availability. From what I can see, EWR-DFW booked on its own has 2 saver seats available, and DFW-RNO booked on its own has 3 saver seats. If you ask AA for EWR-DFW-RNO, there is no availability. That is probably why AA refuses to confirm your reservation, even though it's showing BA that there are available seats at that price level.
The AA website itself says that there are no available seats at the required price level.
