Cannot Export list from the root within one site collection "Export-SPWeb : The URL provided is invalid. Only valid URLs that are site collections or sites are allowed to be exported using

So attempting to run export-spweb to export a list at the root level of a site collection using......

Export-SPWeb -Identity https://my.webapp.com/sitecollection1 -ItemUrl collaboration/Activities/Lists/Activities -path "D:\Temp\Lists\activities.cmp"

and I got the URL error

In the same web app for a different site collection I ran this command and it worked..

Export-SPWeb -Identity https://my.webapp.com/sitecollection2 -ItemUrl collaboration/Activities2/Lists/Activities -path "D:\Temp\Lists\activities2.cmp"
