The problem was that I had customized my org-latex-pdf-process to the texi2dvi recommended value: texi2dvi -p -b -c -V %f The -c (equivalently: --clean or --build=clean) breaks relative paths because texi2dvi executes in a different directory. The *Org PDF LaTeX Output* buffer shows /usr/bin/texi2dvi: cd /home/nick/src/org/latex/foo.t2d/pdf/build whereas the org file was in /home/nick/src/org/latex. If you use texi2dvi, beware of -c (and also --tidy I presume). So nothing to do with org, but maybe the customization option should not include the -c. -- Nick
