Check your error messages.  I think you have the above elisp wrong.  It
should be

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
             '("pulsememoir" "\\documentclass{memoir}"
               ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
               ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
               ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
               ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")))

One set of () removed from around the entry.  You added a list with a
single entry instead of adding the entry to the list.

With this change, it works fine for me.
