PrimeFaces 3.2 dataExporter not working - primefaces

Question

I am using PrimeFaces 3.2 and want to export a dynamically created table as an .xls file. When i click on export, nothing seems to be happening.
Export Code
<h:commandLink id="Download_Excel_Format" ajax="false">
<p:graphicImage value="/resources/Excel_Icon.jpg" height="25" width="25" />
<p:dataExporter type="xls" target="dataTable" fileName="SomeFileName"/>
</h:commandLink>
dataTable
<p:dataTable id="dataTable" var="c" value="#{databaseSearch.customerList}"
paginator="true" rows="10" paginatorAlwaysVisible="false"
paginatorTemplate="Page {CurrentPageReport} {FirstPageLink} {PreviousPageLink} {PageLinks} {NextPageLink} {LastPageLink} Rows per page {RowsPerPageDropdown}"
rowsPerPageTemplate="5,10,15,30">
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Machine" />
</f:facet>
<p:commandButton id="basic" value="#{c.machine}" action="#{updateEntry.setMachine(c.machine)}" oncomplete="dlg1.show();" styleClass="ui-Machinebutton" update=":Update_Entry"/>
<p:tooltip for="basic" value="Update/Delete Database Entry" showEffect="fade" hideEffect="fade" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Company" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{c.company}" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Contact" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{c.contact}" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Phone" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{c.phone}" />
</p:column>
<p:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Email" />
</f:facet>
<!-- <h:outputText value="#{c.email}" />-->
<h:outputLink value="mailto:#{c.email}?Subject=Baseline Monitor Alert | Machine : #{c.machine}">#{c.email}</h:outputLink>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
Both the dataTable and the Export command are within one form, however the dataTable is in a output panel (within the form).
Form
<h:form prependId="false" id="Main_Form">
</h:form>
Output Panel
<p:outputPanel id="panel" autoUpdate="false">
</p:outputPanel>
I even updated to PrimeFaces 3.4.2 to see if the dataExporter would work, but no avail, as far as i remember 3.2 has a bug if the dataTable generates columns dynamically, but that is not the case here right? am i doing something wrong?
dataExporter option looks much simpler, but if there is an alternative which is simple enough i am up for it.
Update
I am using a GlassFish 3.1.2.2 (build 5) & NetBeans 7.2.1, i do not get any errors, just the page refresh's, has a '#' at the end of the URL and stops, no errors means that i am not lacking any dependencies either... so i am lost here ...

Ok, i found the answer ! Tricky one though ... i had a commandButton with the ID=submit...renamed it and that did the trick !
<p:commandButton id="xsubmit" icon="ui-icon-search" title="Search Database" update="panel" actionListener="#{databaseSearch.customerList}" />
