You need the former - the latter is where I keep my org.el[c]

The problem is probably that --batch implies -q, so .emacs is *not*
loaded and you don't get your load-path customizations. Maybe
something like this will work (the quoting gets hairy, so pay
close attention to all the details):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#! /bin/bash

orglib=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org
emacs   --batch \
         --eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \"$orglib\")"
         --load=$orglib/org.elc \
         --eval "(setq org-export-headline-levels 2)" \
         --visit=$1 --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


HTH,
