Probably you are somehow not loading settings "correctly".  In your
normal init file you need to set `org-export-async-init-file'.  In
that file you then need to make sure everything is working as
expected.  On way to debug is to start from emacs -q, load
`org-export-async-init-file' and see what error you expect.

I set `org-export-async-init-file' like the following snippet.  It's
"complicated" because my init-org-async.el loads a subset of my init
file.

(eval-after-load 'ox ;; shouldn't be byte compiled.
  '(when (and user-init-file (buffer-file-name)) ;; don't do it in async
     (setq org-export-async-init-file
           (expand-file-name "init-org-async.el" (file-name-directory user-init-file)))))

Here's my init file for async export.  Perhaps you will find a trick
that makes your files export async there.

;; initialization file for org async.

;; Note that in my init.el I use
;; orgstruct with headlines like:
;;   ;;* PRE
;;   ...
;;   ;;* ORG 
;;   ...

(defun read-between-headlines (start &optional end file)
  "Read a part of the init file.  Give a START regexp to find the
start point and optionally an end regexp."
  (save-match-data
    (let ((file (or file
                    (expand-file-name "init.el" user-emacs-directory)))
	  (end (or end  "^;+ ?\\*\\*? ?[A_Za-z0-9]+"))
	  (case-fold-search t)
	  m1 m2)
      (with-temp-buffer
	(insert-file file)
	(goto-char (point-min))
	(search-forward-regexp start)
	(setq m1 (point))
	(search-forward-regexp "^;+ ?\\*\\*? ?[A_Za-z0-9]+")
	(setq m2 (point))
	(eval-region m1 m2)))))

(mapc (lambda (x) (add-to-list 'load-path x))
      `("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org"
        "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org_contrib/lisp"
        ,(expand-file-name "lisp" user-emacs-directory)))

(setq user-full-name "Rasmus")
(setq user-mail-address "rasmus@gmx.us")
(require 'org) ;; loads from site lisp
(require 'ox)
(require 'cl)  ;; stupid bug in one of the org-packages? 
(setq org-export-async-debug nil)

(mapc (lambda (x) (read-between-headlines (concat ";+ ?\\*+ ?" x))) '("PRE" "ORG"))

;; from http://sachachua.com/notebook/emacs/dotemacs.el
(defun ask-user-about-lock (file opponent) "Always steal lock." t)

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
