the VnVs enums file (actually, all enums files) are ignored by RTW. You need to edit export_VnVs.txt in your Data\text folder with the correct entries. The validator does not work with this Unicode file, so it doesn't check for valid entries in export_VnVs.txt, but it does generate a sample enums file for all non-hidden traits, which must have corresponding entries in export_VnVs, so you just need to make sure those entries exist.
Code:
{Basileus} Basileus
{Basileus_desc}
This dude is the basileus!
{Basileus_effects_desc}
+1 Influence
The giveaway is that it CTD's when you pull up the general's list of traits. That means the entry in export_VnVs.txt is bad.
