I have this problem as well. In my case, I found I was able to work around it 
by creating a "mileage" directory on the sd card.

I am a (novice) android developer, and I would not expect the typical user to 
know how to do this (or have a file management app to do it). So it would seem 
that the fix would be for the mileage app to create this directory, if it 
doesn't exist.

Thanks!

I do not know how to create a "mileage directory on the Sd card so I can 
transfer my data to my new phone. Can you please elaborate.

Sincerely,

Could you try installing the latest update? It should create the directory 
automatically for you. If you're already on the latest update let me know and I 
can debug this further.

Thanks!

Backups do not work on Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. Perhaps the internal only 
storage is causing problems? Is the backup/export looking for an external 
storage drive?

I am experiencing a similar issue.  I have two Android 4.3 phones, the Galaxy 
Nexus and the Nexus 4.  Both are running the latest Mileage v. 3.1.1

I am unable to locate the named export on the Galaxy, and there is currently no 
named folder appearing in the file explorer on the 4 called mileage even though 
I have entered some dummy data into the software.  Nor am I able to create that 
folder.  I am able, on both phones, to import the named export files, so they 
are getting placed somewhere, but I am otherwise unable to locate them.

I have sent an email to Evan this evening, so I hope to hear back regarding a 
solution soon.

It seems that this issue has been taken over from the original poster who had 
an actual error not being able to export.

For the others, I wanted to add some information that this issues isn't 
specific to the Milage App.

It appears that the issue may be involved with Android OS itself and the 
connection type you attempt to use.

Seems a reboot may reset the database that MTP uses.  I was struggling with 
this myself and decided to use Astro File manager to see what was going on with 
the filesystem.  I had deleted the mileage folder and attempted to do an 
export, which worked, but I couldn't see the mileage folder.  Astro could and I 
created a new folder which I copied the exported file out to.  After seeing the 
information on the android issue I linked, I rebooted the phone and was able to 
see the folder and the file in it.

hope that helps others with the same issue as many of us in here.
