Thank you, Nicolas. That solved it.

Now a "just curious," comment and question:

I had a few files that used the ECM source code block, just many more 
entries in each. The last time that I evaluated any of them was last 
October and it produced the results I expected, i.e. I did not specify 
":results file"

So, up until October was I just lucky or did something change in Org 
that affected the sh language?
