This is missing a `'(…)´ around the string.  But you should rather use
customize to change that variable, which should be a list of strings
(just on in your case).  Org-latex needs to have been loaded before the
variable can be customized, however.

You might not want to do this either.  The canonical way to set the
environment for a single command is to define it right there with the
invocation of the command.

 (setq org-latex-to-pdf-process "PDFLATEX=\"pdflatex --shell-escape\" texi2dvi -p %f")

Or if your system still had the locale bug even

 (setq org-latex-to-pdf-process "LC_ALL=C PDFLATEX=\"pdflatex --shell-escape\" texi2dvi -p %f")
