You should add to add.el some more initialization: you probably need to
set the load-path and require the org-latex package - something like
this, but you should more or less mimic the way you initialize org mode
in your .emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/emacs/org/org-mode/lisp")) ;maybe
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode))
(require 'org-install) ; maybe

(require 'org-latex)
...apa stuff from above...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Remember: -batch implies -q so your .emacs file is completely ignored:
you have to do any initialization you need in the add.el file.

I don't know who tries to load html-helper-mode but that's not even
present in my setup.

Probably because the autoload for org-export-as-html-batch is
in the default path of your emacs.
