Hi David,

for the time being I will help you only a little.
Maybe if we could see your model definition file and a brief description 
of the characteristics of the data you are using, we could help you a 
little bit more. Send it us if you want, and we will try to help you more.
Moreover, I think that the kind of data result that you will get, 
depends on your last operation process. Usually the results of Sextante 
are raster files. I mean, for example, you will not have a shapefile 
result in a slope analysis. However you always have the option of 
vectorize the raster result. Another point, is that as I saw in the 
manuals, it could be better to save your result files with a .asc 
extension, you can do that only writing the extension in the file path 
(not when exporting files, only when generating them).
Finally, may be you will get better informations if you contact with the 
sextante mailing lists; www.sextantegis.com

Kind regards.
