if you are worried that you don't have the correct version of Org-mode
installed you can check the output of the `org-version' function.  Mine
reads

"Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4.510.g1e35)"

yes, these are normal compiler warnings which are generally cleaned up
before releases but shouldn't have any negative impact on the behavior
of Org-mode

One thing to note here, is that for your emacs-lisp block to work on
export, you need to change this

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports both
  (buffer-file-name)
#+end_src

to this

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var file-name=(buffer-file-name) :exports both
  file-name
#+end_src

because only header arguments are guaranteed to be evaluated in the
original org-mode buffer during export.

That said I was able to export your example file (without the change
above) to html.  When exporting to latex I ran into an issue, the
problem here is that the LaTeX exporter *requires* at least one
headline.  It explicitly export the pre-first-headline and
post-first-headline portions of the Org-mode buffer separately.  When
there is no headline, and the buffer contains code blocks, then they are
exported *twice*, which causes the error you mentioned, because after
the first pass of the code-block export, the results in the file are not
valid for another pass of the exporter.

If you place a "* " before the "Let's start this..." line, then the
errors should disappear.

Hope this helps.
