Dear Julian, When I use "soffice" with exec-path setting, the ODT export is failed like you. So currently, I use the following setting:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq org-export-odt-preferred-output-format "pdf") (setq org-export-odt-convert-processes '(("LibreOffice" "/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --headless --convert-to %f%x --outdir %d %i") ("unoconv" "unoconv -f %f -o %d %i"))) #+END_SRC It works fine for me.
