The exporter tries to delete the old .odt file before creating the new
.odt file. Since OpenOffice locks the file that it opens, there is some
sort of access violation. So it is normal to get an error.

What surprises me is that I don't see `soffice -norestore -invisible
-headless ' part [1]. Can you show me what you see in the *Messages*
buffer?

Can you check what the value of `variable
org-lparse-convert-process'. It should have something as seen below -
specifically the soffice part.

,----[ C-h v org-lparse-convert-process RET ]
| org-lparse-convert-process is a variable defined in `org-lparse.el'.
| Its value is
| ("soffice" "-norestore" "-invisible" "-headless" "\"macro:///BasicODConverter.Main.Convert(%I,%f,%O)\"")

| Original value was nil

At this moment, I am having trouble figuring what the problem could
be. Nothing like it couldn't be sorted out.
