Tim,
Perhaps you've already realized what you missed, but in case you haven't,
here is the entire instruction:
Please make sure BBEdit is not running on either machine, then
open the Terminal utility app on the _source Mac_ and enter the
following command (you can copy & paste it):
defaults export com.barebones.bbedit ~/Desktop/BBEditPreferences.plist
Next, transfer the resulting file ("BBEditPreferences.plist") to
the Desktop on your _target Mac_, which you can do by any
standard means (e.g. via iCloud Drive, AirDrop, or an USB thumb drive).
Then, launch the Terminal app on the target Mac and run the
following command to apply the transferred prefs (again, you can
copy & paste it):
defaults import com.barebones.bbedit ~/Desktop/BBEditPreferences.plist
