Sorry to sound discouraging, but if you say "export of meshes is working",
there seems to be an inherently wrong approach here.

Blender already creates a single set of render data for *any* kind of object
(no matter if Mesh, Curve, NURBS etc.), so if you coded your exporter to
only use mesh data directly, you will have 5-fold maintenance, which doesn't
make a lot of sense.

Wonder why you didn't use renderfaces in your exporter?
