  Sorry, I never customized file-coding-system-alist
and related variables, defaults worked well for me, so
unfortunately I don't have good hints... but please note
that in my simple environment (Win7 + Emacs 24.3 + Org 8.2.2-elpa
+ nearly zero customizations) I can export org to PDF with
àèìòù (Italian) without any need to specify encodings, it
just worked out-of-the-box.

I would suggest to investigate in these directions:
    
1) try to see what happens without customizations
   (maybe by running "emacs -Q")

2) try to force utf8 on that specific org file, by saying in
the head line:
# -*- mode:org; ....your settings...; coding:utf-8 -*-

3) or alternatively:
# -*- mode:org; ....your settings...; coding:iso-8859-1 -*-

  Kindest regards,
