I went through my file with a fine-tooth comb and found a tag on a line beginning "PROPERTIES". (At least I think it was that line - it could have been the line below with the property value in it. Whichever it was, it wasn't on a headline.) When I removed the tag and reloaded the file, the column commands all worked fine. I'm assuming that was the cause, but I was surprised though since there had been no error message.
