Why is this -batch mode usage coming up with an empty file?
$ cat m.el
(defun foo ()
(bbdb ".")
(write-file "*BBDB*"))
$ emacs --batch -l m.el -f foo
$ ls -l *BBDB*
-rw-r--r-- 1 jidanni jidanni 0 04-11 08:22 *BBDB*
I am using bbdb3.

It seems that the command write-file is not intended for batch mode.
(defun foo ()
(bbdb-display-all-records)
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer bbdb-buffer-name)
(write-region (point-min) (point-max) "my-bbdb")))
