Problems exporting quiz content--1 kb file size

I am trying to export class content from a canvas account at one school, to another. Everything but the quizzes was able to be imported into the new account.

I went into the class that I am trying to export to, and I selected the option to export only quizzes. Unfortunately, the zip file size was only 1 kb. There were no quiz questions in the xml file that I opened up.

The tech guru at our college where I'm trying to export the file from, gave me a couple of links:

https://canvas.unl.edu/courses/50571/pages/importing-and-exporting-quizzes

https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-export-quiz-content-from-a-course/ta-p/...

 

After reading those links, I looked to see if I was using a question bank, but in the class I am trying to export the quizzes from, I have no question banks set up, so the quizzes must be the actual questions (and not links to a question bank).

Is there anything else I can do? I know simply exporting everything BUT the quizzes has already saved me a ton of time; but if I could export the quizzes too, that would save me even more. So I would love to hear any suggestions.

I tried attaching the quiz file export, but this site would not allow a zip file. I'm not sure what I should do to let folks know what was able to be exported from the quizzes--but it sure wasn't much.
