Very often, we find slight problems with Magento for which we need to dig for answers.  It seems like these things should be simple one or two sentence explanations, however, due to the lackluster documentation and support, we waste hours searching for answers. 

 Our first tip is inspired by just such a case.  We were trying to export an inventory list from the export profile but could not find the file when we were done.  If you're having the same trouble, check your server in /var/export directory.
