The GM can then export his team and nothing is ever noticed by the commish.
That would not work. What the cheater would have to do is replace the main file that is being hosted on the server. To do this he or she would have to know the password to get direct access to the server or of course they could hack into it. Then they would replace the league file that everyone is downloading with their own "cheater" league file. Of course if someone went through all of that trouble they have WAY too much time on their hands and really need to get a life!

There is no way to "cheat" by just exporting to the regular league file. Worst thing I have seen happen is when owners do not put a password on their team and then people mess with their lineups but that is about it.
