I am new to this but have watched tutorials. I have tried to emulate Jamie's video about Sketchup 8 collision and exporting with Muvizu ASE Exporter. I keep getting the following error message when importing to Muvizu.
"The collision mesh in the model is badly formed."

This happens quite a lot, unfortunately. What you need to do is make your collision as simple as possible. Some things to keep in mind -

1) keep all your collision to primitive geometric shapes. cubes work best.
2) only put collision where you really need it - e.g. along the base of the object so it sits on the ground and only the places where you want a character to stand.

If you followed the tutorial step by step to make the stairs then try cutting the steps into separate cubes and re-export.

If that doesn't help send us a screen shot or skp file as that would make it easier to see whats gone wrong.
