do you have an address book other than "all address books" selected?

yes. I have several address books; if I select one of them (anyway, which one), I get the described error message when trying to export.

Regarding the error message: Thunderbird can not find the error-file? Is there something wrong with the thunderbird-installation (files missing, or rights-problem with files / directories)?

When trying this on a Windows 7 machine, export works fine with LDIF - I get a proper LDIF-file.
