To clarify again... are you using the Orge mesh exporter, or an OBJ exporter?
If it's Ogre mesh directly, I don't know enough about that exporter to answer the question.
If you're using OBJ, try this exporter instead of the built-in:

AC3D does, indeed, have trouble with booleans sometimes. There are a few things you can do to improve it, such as avoiding coincident vertices, but most people on the forums seem to avoid them in general.
There's an alternate knife tool you can download from supercoldmilk.com that's pretty good for cutting holes. Most other boolean operations can be worked around with merge, weld and create ordered surface.

So, if 1 is 1 whatever I want as you prev. said... is there just a permanent "sense of" scale that I can set in AC3D, and forget about it thereafter?

Hmm. Perhaps it would be more clear to say that AC3D is "scaleless". A unit is whatever you are inclined to say it is, there is no specific settings for feet/meters/etc.
