also, if you get frustrated by the number of latex_header option lines you need to add to each file, you can define a new custom entry in org-latex-classes which contains all those lines. I have a custom one which has all the latex stuff to set my work logo and a few other latex 'tweaks' to match my employer's document guidelines. To get all these settings, I just need to add a latex_class option referencing my definition in org-latex-classes.
BTW I think you are probably better off using latex_header_extra for some of those definitions. In the past, I've run into problems because things don't get loaded in the right order - using latex_header_extra will usually ensure your additional custom settings come after the base latex_header settings which often load things you may need in your custom stuff.
