For problems like this, I try doing it without --batch. Start emacs:

    emacs -Q -l $(HOME)/.org_batch_publish

turn on debug-on-error and then eval (org-publish "org").

time-add is defined in time-date.el which is required by org.el, so I'm
not sure why you are getting this. The backtrace (assuming you get one)
might shed some more light.

There have been situations where I get the error with --batch but not
without. These cases are more difficult to debug unfortunately.
