Problem exporting to collada

I am trying to export a mesh from the level editor using the menu option "export to collada". When I look at the exported collada file, its just an empty mesh. The mesh I am trying to export has an animation on it. Could it maybe be the case that you can't export such meshes? When I look at what the code is doing, it ends up in a function TSSkinMesh::buildPolyList() which does nothing.
