It does create a directory but the directory is empty instead of containing the StoreContent and persistentStore files. The zip file is 34KB so it may or may not actually have the data in it.

I am going to try to find time in the next few days to file a bug report. I'll obviously include this information. Is there anything else you think I should include?
