@Hubble07 - Export will evaluate NumberForm but in only the top level terms of a two-dimensional grid of data. That is, unless OutputForm is used, which somehow forces evaluation. Quite interesting.

@kguler - Yes, copy & paste evaluates the NumberForm statements. FullForm[t2] shows NumberForm unevaluated. So Export does not evaluate like copy & paste.

Chris, if you copy/paste the output of t2 (OP's version) into the second argument of Export it works ok.

The export format, which appears to be "Data", seems to expect only a two-dimensional grid of data. So the nested items in the sublists are not being evaluated like the top level items during the Export process.
