This sounds as if org-freemind is not loaded. What does

      C-h f org-export-as-freemind <RET>

say? If it is says "No match", try loading org-freemind:

    M-x load-library <RET> org-freemind <RET>

and try the export again.
    
If that does not work, I assume that you somehow introduced the same
setup problem on all the machines. I'd concentrate on one machine, debug
it there and then propagate the fix(es) to all the others.

To debug it, please read section 1.4, "Feedback",  of the Org manual.
In particular, the section on "How to create a useful backtrace". Since
the problem is easy to reproduce, that's the most likely path to success.
When you get the backtrace, post it here.

Thanks,
Nick
