Yep, this feature is not completely implemented. See
http://bugzilla.opengroupware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1927

For a potential way to export "my contacts" via zOGI see

I don't think the field "created by me" or "my contacts" are bound to
the action so they are just ignored.  But the Logic certainly support
the required functionality;  so it should be a very significant patch.

By "my contacts" do you mean contacts of which you are the owner
(creator) or contacts assigned to you via the contact Id# field?
