1. Comment out the export line and perform the crypto-stream write directly.
2. Create two byte arrays for the key and IV and make sure pdb is creating a sensible key & IV, I would have thought that the if these were incorrect the encryption algorithm would throw. I've not used the derived bytes thing, so it is new to me
3. If the above isn't working, hard-code the key and IV byte arrays
