I believe you need to substitute a number for N, such as:

(:level . 2:)

But I think the setting you're looking for is:

(:maxlevel . 2:)

As I understand it, the difference between level and maxlevel is that
the level setting only offers level 2 headlines as targets, while the
maxlevel offers both level 1 or level 2 headlines as targets.

I think this is a good candidate for an FAQ entry. I'll put it up on
Worg.

Yes, as a long-time vim user, I was certainly in that category. And I
have to say that your very helpful and accessible tutorials were one
of the first things that drew me to org-mode (and emacs) in the first
place.

Best,

Matt
