What is going wrong here is that zim thinks it is a notebook name 
because there is no "/" in it. Using "zim ./test.gjots" should work. 
Probably I should consider this a bug and check all names also as file 
in the local dir.

Strange, this should work as well; just tested it without problem.

In theory you should be able to do a commandline command to have zim 
export a gjots notebook to a zim notebook. Just tested it but it doesn't 
work :( Give me a few days and I'll push a fix to the bazaar tree.
