I don't completely understand this, but I'd be surprised if it worked: 
because what ranks these cells are on doesn't matter to the code, as far 
as I know/remember. I have tried the following, and it worked:

java -jar gzz06.jar -export foo.xml /tmp/BLA

to export space /tmp/BLA to file foo.xml, using gzz06.jar as the JAR 
file. I.e., pass a command line option '-export' with the name of the 
XML file as a parameter. I saw XML.IMPORT on the Actions rank but not 
XML.EXPORT-- I suspect you might be supposed to use the command line 
option for exporting.

Please try this and tell me whether it works!
