Before the first pdflatex run the working directory seems correct:

> Invoked in dir  /home/jallad/org/masters-thesis

In the output for this run I see some lines like these:

I guess that means the .aux files are created?

Despite the above, for bibtex I get the following:

Explicitly calling the texlive 2007 bibtex resolves the problem.

As per one of Tom's suggestions earlier in the thread, if I set

(setq org-export-pdf-remove-logfiles nil)

I can see the .aux files present after the final pdflatex run. Not
sure why bibtex overlooks that since the working directory seems
correct.
