Did you check to see if the error is always happening at the same point? When you're
exporting, you should have a progression dialog that tells you what is currently
exported. If you try the export again, check to see where it happens. It might also
works the second time. Sometimes, when I try to back up using an Ethernet card in my
MP, I get this connection error. If I try the backup again, then it works.
In your case, if the error is repeatable, and is always happening at the same place,
check to see that piece of information in the package that created it. Ex.: if it says
"Exporting Notes", and the error always happens there, then open the Notes package and
verify every single note you have. One note might be corrupted for some reason. When
you get to the offending note, you should get an alert message of some sort. See if
you can delete this note.
