Sorry, I typed that part from memory and of course it was wrong :/ Back on my home computer now so I can give a more complete explanation.
When you export the model, the bone in the rig will adopt the transformation of the node object. You can see this by importing a rigged model, moving/rotating a node, and exporting the model (to a different filename please!) then importing the exported model again; the bone will have changed its location/rotation to match the moved node. This makes sense, since in Grimrock model files a bone is just a node - but you might expect it to work the other way around. Unfortunately, the exporter won't create the node for you: you have to make it yourself and give it the same origin as the bone yourself. And I can't remember how I did that last time...

I should just make the exporter create bone nodes automatically if they're missing.
