Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Conversion issue - 0 Bytes output

No, your issue isn't the same at all.  His problem is causes by a
track/route mismatch and the target format has everything to do with his -
his target expects routes while KML most closely approximates tracks.

Your problem (which, ahem, I did answer) was caused by you saving it in a
way in Earth that threw away the needed data.
