Make sure you run DRC on the circuit diagram before you run cvpcb That will highlight any errors there.
I would think that it is very likely that the libs you exported are not correct for what you want to do. In Kicad, there are libs and mods. The lib is basically the schematic drawing of the device, and the module is the physical drawing of the device. The important bit is that both the lib and mod must agree on names such as pin numbers and such like. In addition to this the pins in the lib have to be defined as a particular type. (power in, power out, bidi, ...) Libs and Mods are almost a set pair, the exception being where one footprint applies to a range of devices, i.e. a 7805, 7809, 7812 etc. regulator all use the same footprint module. For things like micros, it's normally one lib to one module. Run through the tutorial a couple of times, it takes a bit of practise at first, especially the part regarding creating your own parts. Also Try to use the Kicad libs and modules at first, once you get used to it then try the other libs (if you need them) and check them before use.
