Hi douglsmith
You're welcome. But let's save any thanks until we get your issues resolved! :-)
The error is suggesting that one of the field labels in a record has no value (i.e. it's empty). I'll have to test this condition tomorrow, and I then handle this case better (and will warn about the condition during conversion). An empty field label should not be allowed, and might be botching the generation of the CSV.
For now, you might be able to use the --debug option, and look for per-record lines that start with gen_conversion_file : Processing record. Each will include the record's title and category. Hopefully you see the warning line you showed above after the debug line, so that you can identify the suspect record.
The --addfields issue may be due to the first problem. When used, custom fields go into their own section within the record. And because this section name is appended to the field label, it makes it impossible for the field label to be empty (thus, avoiding the problem).
Let's see if we can resolve the first problem first. I'll run some tests in the morning.
