The function `org-export-as-html' doesn't take the file as an argument,
it has to be called in the buffer where a file has been found.

Look at the script for example:

#!/bin/bash

emacs -batch -eval \
"(progn (load-file \"~/org-mode/org.el\") \
        (load-file \"~/elisp/config/org-batch-config.el\") \
        (find-file \"~/yourfile.org\") \
        (org-export-as-html 3))"

I use org-batch-config.el because obviously I don't need to load all my
Emacs config for running this script.  

But I think it's cleaner to define projects with org-publish and then to
publish a project like:

emacs -batch -eval "(progn (load \"~/org-mode/org.el\") \
                           (org-publish \"myproject\"))"

HTH,
