Sorry. Here's the backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "PDF file ./test.pdf wasn't produced")
  signal(error ("PDF file ./test.pdf wasn't produced"))
  error("PDF file ./test.pdf wasn't produced")
  org-latex-compile("./test.tex")
  #[(file) "\301\b!\207" [file org-latex-compile] 2]("./test.tex")

  (lambda (a s v b) (if a (org-latex-export-to-pdf t s v b) (org-open-file (org-latex-export-to-pdf nil s v b))))(nil nil nil nil)
  org-export-dispatch(nil)
  call-interactively(org-export-dispatch nil nil)
  command-execute(org-export-dispatch)

This seems less useful to me than the *Messages* buffer:

Debug on Error enabled globally

I did verify that the shell, my default of tcsh, does show pdflatex at the right location, /usr/texbin/pdflatex

Thanks,
