Helix,
I just did a more-thorough test on demo.dspace.org. I added Demo
Community Administrator as an administrator of the "haris community" [1]
and Demo Collection Administrator as an administrator of the "haris
collection" [2]. When either are logged in, there's a new menu item
that appears in their respective community/collection: Context -> Export
Metadata. Despite the option appearing, neither of them are able to
actually export the meta data; the error message is as before, " This
export archive is restricted."
Note, I'm not exporting communities or collections, just the metadata;
it seems you must be a site-wide administrator to be allowed to export
meta data as a CSV. I'm not sure why the option appears if it's not
allowed...
Hope that clarifies and possibly helps someone else.

Hi Alan,
I admit I did only a single test on demo where I exported a community
using the community admin's account, but the test was successful, as
you can still see when you look at that account's "My Exports".
I used the "[email protected]
<mailto:dspacedemo%[email protected]>" account to export the
following community (which he's an admin of):
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/handle/10673/1
What did you do differently while testing on demo? Are you sure the
community or collection admin you tried was really an admin for that
particular community/collection?
