Hehe, ok that makes more sense!  My bad, I'll shut up next time. :)

I should have been more specific.  I was referring to Type 1 SMF files. In 
Type 0 files, there is only one track (with up to 16 channels), and the "hole" you're seeing is an unused channel, not track.  If you have any multi tracks, or have tracks not lined up 
with channels (i.e. trk1->ch3, trk2->ch1, etc), saving as a type 0 file 
will destroy this ordering.  If you're using just the standard internal 1 
to 1 mapping and aren't using external gear, you should be fine with type 
0.

Hmm... I just reread your post, and think I see the problem.  Most 
sequencers; actually, ALL that I've seen ('cept the XL-7 =) are not 
capable of saving blank tracks in standard MIDI file format.  What this 
means is that any track you leave blank in Cubase gets deleted, and all 
the other tracks slid up to cover the hole.
