Thanks, but still no luck. I don't have a 'run.sh'. [1]  After I made a
script that no longer bombed out from missing dependencies, I ran
'org.exist.backup.ExportMain'.

I got multiple messages of the form:

INFO: None of content dirs exist: 
'/usr/local/src/exist3-data/expathrepo/doc-0.4.7/content' and 
'/usr/local/src/exist3-data/expathrepo/doc-0.4.7/doc'

then I got:

17:09:17.550 [main] ERROR org.exist.storage.DBBroker - no data found at 
tid 25; page 60995
