Hi, where did you export from?
An XPI file is actually a ZIP archive inside. You could rename the file with a .zip extension and see whether your .zip tool can read it. If not, you probably need to re-export.
If the file is readable as a Zip, is the problem when you try to install regularly rather than through the about:debugging page (for testing)? Once the theme works the way you want, you need to have it digitally signed by Mozilla in order to install it normally.
