I tried with this setting of org-odt-preferred-output-format, and my
*Message* buffers shows:

,----
| Creating ODT file...
| Running zip -mX0 foo.odt mimetype
| Running zip -rmTq foo.odt .
| Created /home/nick/src/org/foo.odt
| Executing soffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir /home/nick/src/org/ /home/nick/src/org/foo.odt
| convert /home/nick/src/org/foo.odt -> /home/nick/src/org//foo.pdf using writer_pdf_Export
| 
| Exported to /home/nick/src/org/foo.pdf
`----

When I execute the command

  soffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir /home/nick/src/org/ /home/nick/src/org/foo.odt

from a shell, I get no errors. Perhaps you can try the equivalent on
your system and see if you get an error. If so, you can stop worrying
about org and start worrying about your LibreOffice installation. But
in any case, you should have more information about what goes wrong.
If you can't figure it out, you should probably post both what your
*Message* buffer shows after the failure and what the command output is.
