Yes, thanks, you're right.  I must have set that to RESULT by accident
after having changed it.  That has fixed another problem I was having,
namely the result block was not being replaced on re-evaluation of the
block, but a new one was created instead.

However, I've still got the original problem that the 

#+RESULTS: r-test
| x   |
|-----|
| nil |

whether I  do

#+HEADER: :var data=call-test

or

#+HEADER: :var data=call-test()

If I comment out the line

#+NAME: call-test

it works and I get

#+RESULTS: r-test
| a | b | c |
|---+---+---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |

So I guess my config must be borked in some other way as well.

Cheers,

Loris
