DVD-A won't open .sub file created from Vegas Pro 16

Hello,

First time working with subtitles. Goal is the have an optional subtitle track in DVD-A.

I created a text/subtitle track in Vegas Pro 16 build 424. I rendered an AVC muting the subtitle track, and then saved a .sub file soloing the subtitle track.

In Vegas when I select Tools/Scripting/Export Closed Captions for DVD-A/Save, no file gets saved to the desired folder. When I select "Export Regions as Subtitles", it saves a .sub. That .sub file's data says [size: 2 bytes] [size on disk: 0 bytes]. (project is 90 minutes with 478 separate cells of text).

When I import the .sub file in DVD-A 7 build 100, I get an error of "warning: an error occurred while opening one or more files"...

Shouldn't I be able to save a .sub file using "Export Closed Captions for DVD-A"? I'm guessing the .sub file should be larger than 2 bytes? I tried double-spacing the text, didn't help. Am I missing something when I save the .sub file from Vegas?
