I guess I wonder what that first part will do as perhaps the org-batch-agenda command is not necessarily going to follow suit with the read-only command. As in, does the first eval command affect anything that the org-batch-agenda command is going to do? Is it trying to do the equivalent of opening up all *.org files in read-only buffers and then run the agenda export?
