Hi,
I was having issues exporting to a "doc" file with this in my init file:
(setq org-export-odt-preferred-output-format "doc")
After some debugging, it appears my "soffice" command takes a single
dash (-), not double dash (--) for command line arguments. When I
change to
"soffice -headless -convert-to %f%x -outdir %d %i"
in org-odt.el, things seem to work. I am running org-mode 7.9.3e on
Emacs 24.1.50.1 and LibreOffice 3.3.4 on Ubuntu 11.04. Not sure if
this is specific to me or not, but it should be fixed in org-mode.
Thanks!

Just checked LibreOffice on my Mac OS X, and it uses two dashes for
arguments. Weird that LibreOffice on Ubuntu uses one dash. Can
anyone else confirm? I guess the emacs function should determine the
current OS to decide whether to use single or double dash for command
line arguments...

LibreOffice 3.6 on archlinux uses double dash.

Since this looks like to be an issue for Ubuntu 11.04 only and since
you can customize `org-export-odt-convert-processes' (from 7.9.x) or
`org-odt-convert-processes' (from master), we don't really need to
change Org for this.
Thanks,
