@Brian - I just filed a new report about this: bug #484016 “Export to GIMP XCF (*.xcf) fails with option '--export-area-canvas'”: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/484016>
AFAICS the export script fails because it is using a command line option for Inkscape that has been renamed. You can try and change it yourself in the 'gimp_xcf.py' on line 89: s/export-area-canvas/export-area-page/
