I am struggling with EXIFTOOL to rename a batch of JPG files using each file's Picasa name tags. Any help appreciated.

Use the command in exiftool FAQ #3 to find the exact name of the tag you want to copy from.

Once you find that, your command would be this, replacing TAG with the tag name you found from above.

exiftool "-Filename<${TAG}.%e" /path/to/files/

This command assumes that the value in the tag does not include the extension. If it does, then remove the .%e

Add -r to recurse into subdirectories. If this command is run under Linux/Mac/PowerShell, change the double quotes to single quotes.
