It is really-really beneficial to learn a bit about SVG and manually
proof-read your exported shapes.
Not to mention, the Dia have a tendency of doubling the exported elements.
This may contribute to the line weights as well.

This means that you have duplicate libraries installed. Probably your user
folder contains a copy of the system library.
