Err, reports _do_ honour the ACL in the sense that, if for example, 
Organisations are set to Private and you, as a restricted user, try to 
generate a report for all Organisations, you will only get those 
Organisations that you are permitted to view in the output.

If you then have the Export tool disabled for Organisations in your 
Profile, then you should not receive the email with the csv, and the 
"Export CSV/Excel" buttons will not be visible in the Report view.
