That's just a default background map that MDiG puts in the config
file... you can either specify a background map in the mdig.conf file
or on the command line.

It needs to be in the model's mapset or in PERMANENT mapset of the
location the model is in.

I'm reasonably sure you'll have a suitable map called nz_DEM_jacques

so:

./mdig.py export -b nz_DEM_jacques MODELNAME

should work...
