I have no clue. The error you are seeing is coming from
`org-bibtex-process-bib-files', which is not a part of Org mode - it is
defined in ox-bibtex.el from org-contrib (unmaintained!!!).

This is also something from ox-bibtex.el. I suspect that you do not need
ox-bibtex.el. It is an old library predating Org's native citation support.

Also, merely loading ox-bibtex.el changes Org export behaviour. Be careful.
