Yes, that's why I said "this part of the problem".

Yep. Change three characters in org-latex.el. Problem solved. Maybe. :)

The attached patch addresses a difference between the latex and html 
exporters, enabling the user to choose a different output directory 
for latex/PDF export by binding org-export-publishing directory, just 
as was already possible for html export.

If there's a latex user following this thread who understands the ways 
of the latex exporter, could you have a look to see that it doesn't 
screw up anything else before I submit a properly formatted patch?

Yours,
Christian
