Well, you must have done something before to get around this problem.
My guess would be that you have customized the old
org-latex-to-pdf-process variable. The problem is that in 8.x, the
variable has been renamed to org-latex-pdf-process, so you need to do
to the new variable what you did to the old. E.g. the default setting
of this variable is three pdflatex calls:

,----
| ("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
|  "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
|  "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")
`----

You'd need to add --shell-escape to each one.
