Happy to help! Note that the exporter doesn't yet work with the Blender 2.5 betas - apparently, the changes to the plugin interface are so extensive that it would need to be rewritten from scratch to work. So, you'll need to stick with the latest stable 2.4 release of Blender, at least for now. As I understand it though, you can do your modeling with a 2.5 release, then use 2.4 just for the final export to DTS.

There's a demo/tutorial on using it here and here is an image explaining the hierarchy.
Having said that I use an older version of Blender with an older DTS exporter, myself.

There's also COLLADA, which the engine will convert to DTS. As there is unlikely to ever be another Blender DTS Plugin, this would be the format to use with the newest 2.5 version.There's a demo/tutorial on using it here and here is an image explaining the hierarchy.

I also use the latest 2.4 for that. 2.5 is still in Beta and therefore too risky to use at the moment.
