You are absolutely right. It works now. Guess this error has spead  
into the ubuntu repo aswell. I see now that a simple glimps into the  
official nuvexportrc could have solved it, but I guess I'm to blame  
for believing everything I read :).

I will change the wiki to reflect the correct command whenever my  
email gets confirmed... Function out of order? it's been a few hours  
now. Thank you!
