I see this post is a little old, but since no one has replied to it, I wanted to give the solution that worked for me just in case someone else has this happen to them and they are looking for a solution.
For me, the problem was that I used a punctuation mark in the name of the world file before exporting it. Simple as that. Something apparently causes issues within the game when you use punctuation in the CAW World File name.
So, what I would try first is to go back into CAW, where you add/edit the description of the world, and rename it using only letters and spaces. Then save, export and install it in your game and test it out.
This solved that problem for me with out having to do anything else. I hope this helps!
