that does suggest that pdflatex is getting called somewhere else.
Maybe you can edebug the export function and check the value of default-directory to see where it is getting called.
You could also try this
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun my-build (quoted-tex-file)
(message "Building %s. Called from %s" quoted-tex-file default-directory))
(setq org-latex-pdf-process 'my-build)
#+END_SRC
It won't build the pdf, but it will tell you in the messages where it was called from. It might help figure out what is happening.
huh. that was kinda cool... but the value of default-directory seems to be correct. However, this helped a bit:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(shell-command-to-string "echo $PWD")
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: /home/matt/src/org-mode
Not sure what's going on here, but this value is the same in a regular emacs and "emacs -Q". is this normal?

Can you manually compile the empty.tex file from the command line? eg
pdflatex empty
(reposting to group)
pdflatex empty
Seems to work fine. Hmmm...

So pdflatex is called and found. Then pdflatex can't find empty.tex.
That looks like pdflatex is called in another directory than where
empty.tex resides. How that could happen, no idea.
