The part within parenthesis is pulled directly from the git repository
with the command

  git describe --abbrev=4 HEAD

Do you have git installed on your system?  If you do (which I'd think
you'd have to in order to have made it this far) then I'm not sure why
your org-version command doesn't include a part in parenthesis.  If you
really wanted to dig into this you could;
1) call describe-function on the `org-version' function
2) evaluate org-version with edebug by pressing C-u C-M-x
3) call the function with M-x org-version
4) and then step through the function by repeatedly pressing space-bar
   to see why it is failing to call git

It might be worthwhile removing the old install under
share/emacs/site-lisp

Hmm, I'm still leaning towards thinking that this could be an
installation issue.  I'd try cleaning up old versions of org-mode and
your load-path until you manage to get something like the following out
of the org-version command

  Org-mode version 7.01trans (release_7.01h.718.g0cb3c5)

My guess is that once you get there the problem will be fixed.

Happy to Help, Best of Luck -- Eric

also, if nothing else works, another unrelated thing to try is setting
org-confirm-babel-evaluate to nil (just temporarily)

  (setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)

and then trying once again to export the file.  I doubt this will fix
the problem (and I almost hope it doesn't because then I don't
understand the problem as well as I thought I did, and an actual bug is
implied), but I suppose it may be an outside possibility.
