Why do you require org-publish?  Shouldn't you be setting up the regular
org environment?  I don't have a require org-publish in my .emacs...

I'm thinking you haven't done the standard org-mode setup with

(require 'org-install)

which sets up the keyboard mappings.  What is C-c C-e mapped to for you?

C-c C-e is mapped to org-export for me.
