Hi!

The Defaults in 1.8 were not very good ..
It should be possible to do the export this way but you have to use
the OGR creation options for Data source and Layer.

As far as I remember the SPATIAL_INDEX_MODE in Layer Options must be set.

As this uses GDAL/OGR function its best to look at the GDAL Webpage.
Depending on the version of GDAL you have there might be other issues
as well.

After all I can only support Ross - it's best to update to QGIS2.2

regards
Werner
