Part of the problem is that the libs from RT2 are incompatible with some
of the newer versions of DBIx::SearchBuilder. In particular, the
AccessibleCache stuff has been seriously reworked/removed so the export
script's attempts to access the data this way don't return anything.

In order to export properly from RT2 I had to downgrade the Perl
installation to using an ancient SearchBuilder, something like 0.48 in
my case (I was exporting from RT 2.0.7). I ended up building a custom
Perl just to do the export, with all the old RT2 Perl dependencies in
there.
