The Chinese page given in the URL does exist, but when its title (巴尔米拉环礁) is submitted to [[zh:Special:Export]], it is not found.
The content is available at: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/%E5%B8%95%E9%82%81%E6%8B%89%E7%92%B0%E7%A4%81 When copy pasting the title in Special:Export: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/巴尔米拉环礁 It outputs the (empty) content of: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%A6%96%E9%A1%B5
error: it just output some default content and fail to grab article content :(
On the export page that does contain the content, its title is changed/respelled/whatever from 巴尔米拉环礁 to 帕邁拉環礁
The switch from 环 to 環 is a change from simplified to traditional Chinese - perhaps it's the simplified/traditional change script that is at fault here?
Are you using the actual page title or the display title? Export seems to work just fine using the actual title: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/帕邁拉環礁 The page has some spelling conversion overrides: -{A|zh-tw:帕邁拉;zh-cn:巴尔米拉}- which seem to alter the output display of the title.
Yes, that title works... But how am I as a simple reader (or in this case, bot operator) to know that I should use the traditional rather than the simplified form of the title in this case?
That's exactly why page titles should always be shown exactly as is, not customized or altered...
