As a general hint when debugging PDF export: when you hit an error, then
first export to LaTeX and convert the file to PDF with pdflatex
(following the commands defined in the variable org-latex-pdf-process).

You can then fix it directly in LaTeX-side and afterwards bring the
change into the org-mode document.
