I remember, we mentioned export/import issue in our last meeting with Andrew in the context of shared raw disk. It was decided then, that export/import will not be supported by shared raw disk, I'm not sure if we also decided that for floating disk, but I think its a PM decision. Support import/export domain might evolve to a big change, since if we want to export disk, we might also want to reflect all its configuration and functionality there, also reflect disks which are attached to VMs and templates as well.
