You are not the first, and probably not the last which are confused with 
import and export term in bird.
The import and export are from the routing table point of view.
So for each protocol :
- you *import* route from the protocol to the bird routing table
- you *export* route to the protocol from the birdrouting table

Reminber also, that the bird routing table is not the kernel routing table.

In your case, you want something like this :

kernel {
import none;
export all;
...
}

ospf {
import all;
...

I hope this is not the opposite :)
