OK, works for me, too now.  The quotes were the important thing, thanks.

For future me and the future in general, would it be a good idea to add
an example to

  https://orgmode.org/manual/Using-Header-Arguments.html

which illustrates the difference between strings and numbers,
e.g.

#+property: header-args:sh :var user="loris" fails=3 temp=17.1

#+begin_src sh
  echo user ${user}
  echo fails ${fails}
  echo temp ${temp}
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
| user  | loris |
| fails |     3 |
| temp  |  17.1 |

?

Cheers,

Loris
