EXPORT ASCII won't

So I'm working on this export for a client a list member was kind enough to
refer to me, and my export ascii just doesn't seem to want to drop a file
*anywhere*.
The manpage seems to disagree with itself whether a filename with no path
will be written `pwd` or in $PFDIR/fpmerge, but I've tried with and without,
and looked in `pwd`, in $PFDIR/fpmerge, in /appl/fpmerge, and in /tmp (when
I specified that), and I get *nothing* at all.
No empty file; no file.
dreport was missing it's suid bit, but I fixed that, and all the relevant
directories were 777 anyways.
I am running this -a on the table in question, and it's happily finding
2300 someodd records, and counting down through them.
Yes, I used -y !!! and -z !!! in various combinations, and they didn't help
either.
4.5.... .05, I think. Definitely 4.5 though.
::export ascii exp=inventory.txt r=\n f=|:
then lots of
::exp(1)=1{"":
and a write exp at the end.
Tried using a different tag than exp, as well.
Table passes syntax check, and does *nothing* else.
Any ideas, comrades?
Cheers,
