Dear Christiaan,
I believe I considered these things already, but to cut a long story
even shorter ( ;-) ), can you write an AppleScript statement with
BibDesk's command 'export' that works? I know of none, regardlesss of
file specifications and came to the conclusion the command is defunct
(BibDesk bug?).
Thanks, should you know of one and send me one. One example would
already make me quite happy. ;-)

Dear Christiaan,
as POSIX file,

And it works.
In addition you should not send the 'POSIX file' to an app, so you
can't directly use it inside a tell block. Either use it outside the
tell bock, or prepend it by the keyword "my" (so the 'POSIX file' is
send to the script rather than the app).
So either say:
set aFile to POSIX file "/path/to/a/file"
tell application "BibDesk"
do some command with aFile
end tell
or:
tell application "BibDesk"
do some command with (my POSIX file "/path/to/a/file")
end tell
