To debug check you *Message* buffer.  You might see something like

   LaTeX errors in `*/tmp/orgtex1687lRq output*'. Use C-c ` to display.

Check the file, compile it, and check that everything works.  Compile it
to dvi and try to run dvipng on the file.

For me, dvipng is unhappy about chemfig since it seems to contain PS
elements.  If I do

    (setq org-latex-create-formula-image-program 'imagemagick)

everything works since it's converted to pdf rather than dvi.

(org-version) => "8.3beta".

You might get better results with a recent version of Org.  If you
upgrade to Emacs 24.4 you should get Org 8.2.10, I think.
