Do you get the error from ZM on the page, or from FireFox itself? If it's the former it would probably be permissions related but it still should not occur.

i get it on firefox, and only when trying to export an event.

Your best bet would be as discribed in the Wiki to tail your logs (in this case just httpd/error_log should be enough) and attempt to export an event and see what error comes up.
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

I have only seen this error when the permisions have been mucked up, so might be the case.
