Correct, it doesn't export user or group passwords, maybe due to security concerns, because the resulting file is going to be readable by anything that user is running. The Cisco "encryption" is a joke and completely decryptable. I'm not opposed to changing this, but it's not something to do lightly because your password would be completely in the clear. And that's often your login password too.
