Is that the complete error or was there a bit more?
I had the same problem when i used a normal text editor to change the file and because if that some tabs where replaced by spaces. Python is pretty particular with its identations.
Traceback (most recent call last):

TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
No, sadly mine is a different error. I got the same error as you did as well when editing in vim, but then I tried with gedit and that worked (removed the error about inconsistant tabs and spaces).
After I fixed that I got the error in my last post (and yes, that's the full error).
In windows, blender uses the python bundled with it. Not sure what it does with linux though.
How did you install the plugin? copy the files, or using the install function in blender?
Can you validate whether the global_properties.py is there? (in the ogre_mesh_exporter dir)
I installed the function in blender using the "install addon".
I now managed to make it work on Ubuntu (was on Arch before) with Blender version 2.69 and the addon. I guess this will do - I'll just have to do my modeling on Ubuntu and then go back to Arch for coding.
Thanks anyways!
