It works correctly for me (see attached). Make sure your buffer is
exactly as shown below (:width 20cm -> \tiny is not the only change.
You also need to change #+attr_latex -> #+latex).

#+NAME: test1
#+BEGIN_SRC R :results output latex :exports results
  list.files(recursive=F)
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_CENTER
#+latex: \tiny
#+RESULTS: test1
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
 [1] "Desktop"             "Documents"           "Downloads"
 [4] "Dropbox"             "Library"             "Mail"
 [7] "Movies"              "Music"               "MyDropBox"
[10] "News"                "Pictures"            "Public"
[13] "local"               "m.org"               "org"
[16] "org.ics"             "orgmode-accessories" "projects"
[19] "t2.html"             "t2.org"              "t2.pdf"
[22] "t2.tex"              "tools"               "worg"
#+END_LaTeX
#+END_CENTER


Best regards,
John
