Which version of Blender are you using?
I think only 2.49 will successfully export animations.

Chafari has more knowledge on this than I.

the 2.5 and 2.6 series can export fine, kira's thread (he wrote he exporter) is here http://betaforum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=166987&b=3&p=4 and has all the info you need.

briefly though, you need to make sure that all vertices are assigned to at least one bone, and all bones must be assigned at least one vertex. you should apply (ctrl a) scale and rotation before exporting. mesh should be parented to the armature and bones should be animated by setting keyframes, you will need to set the option to export animations when exporting.

all bones dont have to be connected, but i think they do need to be part of the same armature, and also need to have a vertex assigned. also, if you are using them as controllers for constraints or inverse kinematics, the .x format doesnt really support this, you can probably use these for positioning, but make sure to set keyframes for each bone, not just the control points.

you can use an IK/constaint system in DBpro, but you will have to implement it in code with limb or vertexbuffer commands.
