What is yours set to? I set mine to "3", but since the change, tj3
--version outputs 0.1 something...

Can you use the file on worg here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.html ?
I'm getting errors:
1) the hours (are they hours?) are exported as 0.3h instead of
something else (they are set to ":Effort: 30.0" in the org file but
apparently get exported to 0.3h). This breaks export, as hours needs
to be greater or equal to 1.0.
2) Once I manually fixed all those in the resultant .tjp file, I get:
---

Does this happen to you ever?
Thanks for any input. Perhaps we need a Worg page for both tj2 and tj3
if the file formats are drastically different?

*Edit before sending.* I got the export to work by looking at the
example file from the tj3 manual. The report needs to be waaaaaay
different than the current. Here is what worked for the example file
on worg (after manually changing the durations as described above):
