In trying to export to a pdf in another directory specified with a 
relative pathname as the destination, I kept running into errors.

It looks like `org-compile-file' does not handle such things gracefully.

I believe that `out-dir' here is redundant as `default-directory' is 
already set to `out-dir':

       (let ((output (concat out-dir base-name "." ext)))

and deleting it seems to cure the problems I am seeing.

Here is an ECM

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
   (make-directory "./tmp" t)
   (shell-command "echo \"start...\" > ./tmp/ocf.txt")
   (org-compile-file "./tmp/ocf.txt" '("echo \"done\" >> %b.txt") "txt")
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:

Results should be

: ocf.txt

and there should be no error messages.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
