Never export to a PST. Just copy the original PST with Outlook closed.

After you created this PST, did you close Outlook before burning it to the
CD? Also, some CD burning software does not sem to handle PSTs very well.
Usually, once someone gets the "not a Personal Folders file" message, the
PST is irreparable, at least with Microsoft-supplied tools.
