[O] failed execution of bibtex2html

[Levy, Roger]

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting \cite commands to work within org-mode for HTML 
export -- I get the error "Executing bibtex2html failed" when I run 
org-export-as-html.  I'm running Aquamacs 2.4 (based on GNU Emacs 23.3.50.1) 
and org-mode version 7.9.4.  Any advice would be much appreciated! (Note that 
emacs *can* find and execute bibtex2html.)  I append a minimal example of the 
error.

Many thanks,

Roger

Minimal example: .org file is (note that levy:2008 is in rpl.bib, which is in 
the current directory):

Running M-x org-export-as-html gives me the following error in the *Backtrace*
