Answer/Solution:

The error indicates inability to resolve the property "LocalPath" causing subsequent error in com.starbase.starteam.File.getLocalPath.

Please ensure the following:

1) cdl file for export has correct path set.

2) cdl file should not have "~" in Path.

3) The default working folder has correct path set
