Updating the datasource of a chart via JSON javascript

[Luke]

So I have a chart which is configured using the MVC style configuration...

@(Html.Kendo().Chart<DIMVC.ViewModel.CompanyProduction>(Model.CompanyProduction)
     .Name("DINETChart")
     .Title("Files sent through DINET")
     .Legend(legend => legend
         .Position(ChartLegendPosition.Bottom)
     )
     .ChartArea(chartArea => chartArea
         .Background("transparent")
     )
     .SeriesDefaults(seriesDefaults =>
         seriesDefaults.Line().Style(ChartLineStyle.Smooth)
     )
    .Series(series => {
         series.Line(model => model.SentFiles, model => model.Note)
               .Name("Sent Files")
               .Notes(notes => notes.Label(label => label.Position(ChartNoteLabelPosition.Outside)).Position(ChartNotePosition.Top));
    ....  { lots more series added here }
     .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
         .Categories(model => model.MonthDisplay)
        .Labels(labels => labels.Rotation(-90))
     )
     .ValueAxis(axis => axis.Numeric()
          .Labels(labels => labels.Format("{0:N0}"))
         .MajorUnit(10000)
     )
     .Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip
     .Visible(true)
     .Format("{0:N0}")
     .Template("${(value).toFixed(2)} ${series.name} <br /> ${((value / (dataItem.ReceivedFiles + dataItem.SentFiles)) * 100).toFixed(2)}%")
     )
     .Events(e => e
     .SeriesClick("onSeriesClick")
)

I also have a slider on the page. When the slider value is changed I handle this event.
@(Html.Kendo().RangeSlider()
.Name("yearRange")
.Min(2000)
.Max(DateTime.Today.Year)
.SmallStep(1)
.LargeStep(5)
.Values(Model.MinYear, Model.MaxYear)
.Events(e => e.Change("yearRangeChange"))
)

    function yearRangeChange(e)
    {
         var url = "/FetchData/";

         $.ajax({
             type: "GET",
             url: url,
             data: { startYear: e.values[0], endYear: e.values[1] },
             dataType: "json",
             success: function (json) {

            $("#DINETChart").kendoChart({
                dataSource: {
                   data: json
            }
        });

         var chart = $("#DINETChart").data("kendoChart");
        chart.refresh();
     }
 });
}

now when the chart is updated the grid is just blank.

The json request is successfully called and the data is retrieved.
but after the chart is populated the chart is blank.
