I don't know the answer to your question, but when I came across the
same problem, I used a makefile-like solution because I felt that the
building process was becoming sufficiently complicated to warrant using
a specialised tool.  If you are comfortable with CMake already it may be
worth a look.  Have a look for "UseLatex.cmake".

Basically you get emacs to export the .tex file from the .org file:

add_custom_command(
  OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mypaper.tex
  COMMAND emacs --batch
    --visit=${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mypaper.org
    --load=/home/me/myfuncs.el
    --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch
  DEPENDS orgfile
  COMMENT "Exporting orgmode file to LaTeX using emacs"
  )

And then bibtex and nomenclature are asked to do their stuff, and a pdf
is produced, with something like this directive:

add_latex_document( mypaper.tex
  INPUTS tex/bibliography.tex
         texlib/mystyle.sty
  BIBFILES texlib/mylibrary.bib
  DEFAULT_PDF
  USE_NOMENCL
)

I also get it to generate all my R plots.  Other advantages are that you
get an out-of-source build that is isolated (to some extent) in its own
directory.  And I think it is easier to diagnose the problems when
things go wrong, better than staring at an elisp backtrace.  Now if org
would write my CMakeList.txt for me, that would be a fine thing.
