You didn't ask for newlines between records (no r=\n on the export command 
line) so you didn't get them.
Since you are no longer using -X, the r= f= o= c= become meaningful.

This is neither relevant nor important but I'm guessing you went out of your 
way to add ".wp" that you must have gone out of your way to remove by 
setting PFADDWP=off in the first place, because you generally have it set 
off in pfconfig, which is patently sane, but need this routine to support 
some old procedure that expects it?
