Sorry about that. I wish the initial setup was not so tricky for some
configurations.

OK. That explains everything.
Mnemogogo is designed to work best with phones that can be mounted as
USB Mass Storage Devices.
I know that many newer phones only mount as MTP or PTP devices. This
is unfortunate.
I looked at adding support within Mnemogogo, but this would seem to
require additional Python libraries (thus complicating installation
and cross-platform support).
The solutions seem to be :
1. Export to a local directory and then copy/synchronize this
directory to your phone using other software that either :
a. synchronizes over MTP (like copy and paste in Windows explorer,
or any of the more specialised synchronisation programs),
b. synchronizes via cloud storage (Dropbox etc.), or,
c. synchronizes via a wireless network (AirDroid, etc.).
2. If possible, remove the sdcard from your phone, mount it directly
on your PC, and export onto it (as you already suggested).
3. Wait for a Mnemosyne client that supports network synchronization;
I know that Peter (Bienstman) is working on one.
I don't like that so many steps are needed to synchronize Mnemododo
with Mnemosyne. I'm going to look at the new Google Drive API (as
suggested by Arno den Hartog) to see if there is a way to streamline
the process.

That should work. Do you mean that Mnemododo does not detect the
exported directory?

Understood. Though, naturally, I am happy to keep trying to help if
you want to continue trying (now or later).
