How to export specific folders from Exchange Mailbox' online archive to PST

So, the solution was that -IncludeFolders parameter did not accept #inbox# to make it language agnostic (as explained here) when -InArchive was also given. So I had to use -IncludeFolders parameter without the #-signs to retrieve specific folders from the online archive.

    I am trying to export specific folders (and their subfolders) to PST files from an online archive of a mailbox. Servers are running Exchange 2010 (14.3.123.4) on Server 2008 R2.

    So far I have this:

    New-MailboxExportRequest `
        -Mailbox $Mailbox `
        -IncludeFolders "#Inbox#/Production/Bouwnummers/$BouwnummerFolder/*" `
        -FilePath "\\[server]\PST-Export$\OTPM\$BouwnummerFolder.pst" `
        -Name $Bouwnummer `
        -DomainController $DomainController
    
    New-MailboxExportRequest `
        -Mailbox $Mailbox `
        -IncludeFolders "#Inbox#/Production/Bouwnummers/$BouwnummerFolder/*" `
        -FilePath "\\[server]\PST-Export$\OTPM\$BouwnummerFolder Archive.pst" `
        -Name "$Bouwnummer Archive"`
        -DomainController $DomainController `
        -IsArchive
    

    For the first export request, I get the expected result, however for the archive (2nd part) I only get the Deleted items folder (empty). I have checked with Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity $Mailbox -Archive | ft Folderpath | out-file E:\PST-Export\$Mailbox-archive.txt that it does contain the folder, and subfolders that I want.

    So, how can I export the folders from the online archive to PST?
