Hi Helix, Thanks We are using Dspace 1.8.2.
Does the code occur in the package you mention? It is an export of a community, containing several collections/items. It has had its name changed recently.

Is it possible you're exporting something that results in an empty CSV? BTW index-update doesn't do anything related to CSV export. It updates metadata in the Lucene index from database. CSV export exports metadata from database.
