Trying to make an ItemData object from a blender model.

First I not sure if this is the correct place for me to post this, but my issues seems to be with the model that I created using blender.
What I am wondering is has anyone made an ItemData object with a model created in blender?
I am trying to create a little acorn ItemData object. But when I try to add the acorn using the mission editor I don't see the model, but the collision works. Strangely enough when I add the same object as a TSStatic it works fine. And when I change the "shapefile" to the starter.fps "healthpatch.dts" I see the object, this is why I think I might have an exporting problem.
Has anyone else had this issue?
I just started using blender for dts today, and I been using the tutorials form this site
http://www.rstralberg.com/blendertuts.html, is it out of date, or are there betters ones?
Do I need more empties other than "Shape" and "Detail32"?
Thanks for your time

I move my acorn.dts into the same location as the healthPatch.dts, and it works.
I am not sure why I was having issues, because I was pointing to the right location, but apparently I have to have the ItemsData dts stored in the "~data/shape/items" location. It doesn't make sense if that is the case. If anyone has a idea other than I wasn't pointing to the right location, I would like to hear it.
Thanks again for your help :) !
