Probably you are somehow not loading settings "correctly". In your
normal init file you need to set `org-export-async-init-file'. In
that file you then need to make sure everything is working as
expected. On way to debug is to start from emacs -q, load
`org-export-async-init-file' and see what error you expect.
I set `org-export-async-init-file' like the following snippet. It's
"complicated" because my init-org-async.el loads a subset of my init
file.
(eval-after-load 'ox ;; shouldn't be byte compiled.
'(when (and user-init-file (buffer-file-name)) ;; don't do it in async
(setq org-export-async-init-file
(expand-file-name "init-org-async.el" (file-name-directory
user-init-file)))))
Here's my init file for async export. Perhaps you will find a trick
that makes your files export async there.
;; initialization file for org async.
;; Note that in my init.el I use
;; orgstruct with headlines like:
;; ;;* PRE
;; ...
;; ;;* ORG
;; ...
(defun read-between-headlines (start &optional end file)
"Read a part of the init file. Give a START regexp to find the
start point and optionally an end regexp."
(save-match-data
(let ((file (or file
(expand-file-name "init.el" user-emacs-directory)))
(end (or end "^;+ ?\\*\\*? ?[A_Za-z0-9]+"))
(case-fold-search t)
m1 m2)
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file file)
(goto-char (point-min))

(setq m1 (point))
(search-forward-regexp "^;+ ?\\*\\*? ?[A_Za-z0-9]+")
(setq m2 (point))
(eval-region m1 m2)))))
(mapc (lambda (x) (add-to-list 'load-path x))
`("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org"
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org_contrib/lisp"

Hope it helps,
