Not sure that this is the best solution, because I still don't understand why running org-batch-agenda from the command line wasn't picking up the same style sheet as the export agenda command run interactively from within emacs. However, inserting this in my org config file has agenda.htm looking the same as it looks in the org buffer no matter agenda.htm is generated: ***code starts here (setq org-agenda-export-html-style ""> ) ***code ends here
