It doesn't matter how the data you're exporting gets its value; what matters is the value, including its structure. If it's being exported with too many brackets, it's because the data has too many brackets.

Having never seen how you get that data value assigned (in detail, so that we can duplicate it), I can only guess what you've done wrong.

NDSolve typically returns a List of solutions, each of them a List of Rules. That's already too many brackets for a lot of applications, so pay attention to how you extract your solutions.
