My problem: '-x' was already an alias for 'chmod -- -x ', so changing
Export's
alias to '\-x ', "solves" this syntax problem.  I've never needed -r or -w,
but have desired, at times, the positive forms of all 3 (+r +w +x)

Yeah, I really do have typing injuries, so abbreviations for oft used
identical actions are useful.  Thanks for verifying...
