The problem is that the loans export is expecting a *MARC* CSV
profile, not an SQL one.  This is because the loans export was
developed before SQL CSV profiles were an option; it works by fetching
the MARC bib records corresponding to the selected loans.

Here is an example of a profile that would work:

Title=245$a|Author=100$a

At present, the loans export has no way to include information about
the loans themselves or the patron.

Galen
