excel exporter and datatable paging

[gebuh]

Seam 2.2.0
I'm using a rich:dataTable for searching results display and export to excel.  Before I combined them we had 2 separate dataTables (because of the setMaxResults).  But now whenever a user pages forward and then exports to excel they only get the results from that point forward.  Is there a way around this?
Here's some code:
export button:

<h:commandButton value="Export to Excel" type="submit" rendered = "true"   
         action="#{excelExporter.export('employeeCertVSearch:employeeCertAllVList')}">
         <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{employeeCertAllVList.useExcel}" value="true" />                
         </h:commandButton>

dataTable heading:

<rich:dataTable id="employeeCertAllVList"
                var="_employeeCertAllV"
              value="#{employeeCertAllVList.resultList}"
           rendered="#{not empty employeeCertAllVList.resultList}" 
            rowClasses="#{employeeCertAllVCriteria.row}" onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#BED6F8'"  
           onRowMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='white'"
           style="xls-font: 10 Verdana; xls-column-widths: 4000 4000 4000 4000  5000 6000 6000 6000
                 10000 3000 3000 3000 3000"
                    columnClasses="left, right" width="500px" >
      bunch of columns ....
</rich:dataTable>

paging:

<div class="tableControl">

        <s:link view="/web/EmployeeCertAllV.xhtml"
            rendered="#{employeeCertAllVList.previousExists}"
               value="#{messages.left}#{messages.left} First Page"
                  id="firstPage">
          <f:param name="firstResult" value="0"/>
        </s:link>

        <s:link view="/web/EmployeeCertAllV.xhtml"
            rendered="#{employeeCertAllVList.previousExists}"
               value="#{messages.left} Previous Page"
                  id="previousPage">
            <f:param name="firstResult"
                    value="#{employeeCertAllVList.previousFirstResult}"/>
        </s:link>

        <s:link view="/web/EmployeeCertAllV.xhtml"
            rendered="#{employeeCertAllVList.nextExists}"
               value="Next Page #{messages.right}"
                  id="nextPage">
            <f:param name="firstResult"
                    value="#{employeeCertAllVList.nextFirstResult}"/>
        </s:link>

        <s:link view="/web/EmployeeCertAllV.xhtml"
            rendered="#{employeeCertAllVList.nextExists}"
               value="Last Page #{messages.right}#{messages.right}"
                  id="lastPage">
            <f:param name="firstResult"
                    value="#{employeeCertAllVList.lastFirstResult}"/>
        </s:link>
    </div>
