Awx.awx.export from AWX 21.0.0 fails using awx.awx.import into AWX 24.6.1 with "Failed to import assets argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable"

When i take the output file from the export playbook below, and pass it into the import playbook below, the job run fails immediately with the following message:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Failed to import assets argument of type ‘NoneType’ is not iterable”}

Note - this happens whether i export a single resource type or the all the resource types. It doesn’t matter.

The input file looks well formed and i can see no issues with it. There is no other information available regarding the error.

I am running both systems on Ubuntu using K3s as the kubernettes engine.

Happy to provide any more information you may need. Any help would be huge at this point,
