I finally figured out what circumstances under which this bug happens: I am trying to export from a system where some of the symlinks in the project are broken. Here's my setup: I sync my home directory on my laptop and desktop computers using Unison. In my project, I have symlinks to files in ~/images/, but since my laptop hard drive has less capacity than the one in my desktop, I only keep ~/images/ on my desktop. As a result of this setup, some symlinks in my org-mode project are broken on my laptop. When I publish my project on my desktop, where no symlinks are broken, org-publish behaves as expected; when I publish the same project on my laptop, where some symlinks are broken, org-publish appears to succeed, but publishes no changes. I am really sorry for such a delayed response, but my university semester started up again, which has been really hectic because of the Feburary Christchurch earthquake. Kind regards, Aidan Gauland
