Well, that might be *a* problem, but it's not *the* problem.

This produces the same results:
,---
| emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs --eval '(find-file-read-only "~/org/*.org" t)' \
| --eval '(org-batch-agenda "e")' > ~/org/aux/agenda-export.txt
`---

I get this from the command line:
,---
| ...~/org/rigor.org locked by jwhendy... (pid 10935): (s, q, p, ?)?
`---

Which means that when executed from cron, it won't proceed.

Also, good to know re. the man pages... however Worg is wrong, then.
Directly from Worg [1]:

,----------
| Let's say you generate an export from the command line, such as the following:
| ,---
| | emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-batch-agenda "e")'
| `---
|
| or
|
| ,---
| |emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-publish-all)'
| `---
`----------

The manual contains the same syntax. [2]

when I export an agenda from the command line?).
