That's what I was doing. I would then zip it and rename it file.kim

Did that.

Why run it through export?

My goal is to move from BrilliantPhoto to KimDaBa. I can take the
people, place and keywords from the IPTC data in BrilliantPhoto and
make an index.xml file for KimDaBa. The only problem is that KimDaBa
is not accepting my index.xml file, and I get the error that I
mentioned. How can I 'reproduce' the index.xml file so that KimDaBa
will accept it?

I should note that I have thousands of pictures- retagging them by
hand is impossible.

Thanks Jesper and all else who dedicate time to this project. I really
do appreciate you all.
