If I do an export from an A2007 database and save the export, it then
becomes available under the "Saved Exports" button on the "External
Data" tab of the Ribbon. If I use this button to run the export, the
"Manage Data Tasks" window appears, I use the "Run" button to do the
export and a message box appears to tell me that the export was
successful.

If however I use code on a command button like: DoCmd.RunCommand
acCmdSavedExports all of the above happens except there is no message
box confirming to the user that the export was successful. The export
happens but there is no feedback to the user. Why is this?

I speculate this is by design: if you run the command you get no
prompts whatsoever and the program can just move on to the next
statement, or if you want to do it step by step there is the manual
way.
Nothing prevents you from checking if the file exists after the
export, and if it has the correct file date/time.

Thanks for the reply Tom. If it is by design, would it have not been
better to keep the message box and kill it using SetWarnings if
desired?

This is not a warning, but a success confirmation.
