The -d was a bug in 1.0a9 that has since been fixed in cvs (some other
option (-p maybe?), was there twice).  I'm not sure what you mean by -n,
since that's not a switch that sb_dbexpimp.py will use at all.

This should be fixed in the next release.  sb_dbexpimp.py has been changed
to use the csv module (so also changed to use ',' as the separator rather
than '`'), and this should have been fixed in the process (it was one of the
motivations).

All of it, except that it's all been recently fixed :)  We had hoped to get
a release out at the end of last week, but didn't manage - hopefully one
will be out early next week, so things will be better then (too late for
you, of course!).
