Aloha Ken,

Running emacs -Q, initialized to point to an up-to-date Org mode, this
works for me.

I evaluate this source code block so babel recognizes shell source code
blocks:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org-babel-do-load-languages
 'org-babel-load-languages
 '((sh . t)))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| (sh . t) |

Then run the directories source code block to get this:

#+RESULTS: directories
|       184 | Documents                  |
|    548528 | Downloads                  |
|   3852088 | Library                    |
|  10208696 | Mail                       |
|         0 | Movies                     |
...

Perhaps you have something in an initialization file?

hth,
Tom
