Did you put in a filename for the export?  If so, this is incorrect.  Muhri set
it up so that it automagically names the file the same as the folder name.  The
dialog box says "Please choose a DIRECTORY to export folder [foldername] to"
(caps added)  Personally, I think that most people don't read dialog titles,
and that we should not use a file selection widget, but instead just a CList. 
I will think on this a bit and may add it to 1.7.x but basically, you just
choose "Export Folder" and then browse to the directory you want to export to
and hit "ok"  If you put in a filename, it tries to export to
/fullpath/to/filename/foldername and of course, that won't work...
