Maybe this will work: the current buffer-file-name is saved in
org-export-as-html (and I assume in the other export routines) in a
dynamically scoped variable called org-current-export-file. The value of
that variable should be available in the hook as well. So instead of
(buffer-file-name), you probably want to say

        (or (buffer-file-name) org-current-export-file)

That way, your updater can be called both from inside and outside
the export functions.

HTH,
