problems with beamer under the new exporter: no theme; unable to specify heading level; slides fill from bottom up

["Christopher W. Ryan" <cryan@binghamton.edu>]

Using org-mode 8.2.4-1 on Linux Mint.

Below is a minimal working example of my problem. The trouble is that
the Berlin theme is not applied--it remains the default theme.

Also, the first slide (after the title slide) seems to "fill from the
bottom up" rather than from the top down. That is, there is a big gap
between the word "Chemistry" and the phrase "Malodorous reduced sulfur
compounds."

Lastly, the H:n option seems to have no effect, regardless of whether
n=1, 2, or 3.

Appreciate any advice.  Thanks.
