i still cant,  figure out why you are exporting to bryce.  i am no expert at armatures but try this select the object you want to apply the armature to.  go into object mode go into the editing tab (picture of a box with verticies)  then click add modifiers under the modifiers panel.  select armature.  once you have selected armature type in the name of the armature object you wish to apply (caps matter).  i dont think this is the full solution to the problem but it is definitly part of it
