Actualy I managed to reproduce ur error recently, for one, when you export .XSI make sure to deselect everthing (Shift+ctrl+a), having something selected can couse convertXSI to give u that problem later, especialy if had a null point selected. The other thing make sure that in command prompt when converting you type in the names exactly for example: convertxsi judgment.xsi judgment.mesh
And are u following the right directions, here is a good tutorial made by cannadaman

Im trying to think of what else to say. on when you go to documentation that tells u how to export to XSI got to figure 1g-2 on page 15 (its the bottom one) and make sure that all of ur export settings are like theirs. Hope this helps.
