Hi Richard,

This also doesn't work for, but I've never used it before.  But it
should be {{{time(.)}}} cf.
       
    http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?h=maint

This works for me in Org-mode version 8.0.3
(release_8.0.3-309-gabacff).  Is the problem still persistent after
trying from emacs -q or after trying M-x org-reload?


#+BIND: org-export-date-timestamp-format "%Y-%m-%d"
#+DATE: <2013-07-01 Mon>

* test

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-export-date-timestamp-format "%B %e, %Y")
(set (make-local-variable 'org-export-allow-bind-keywords) t)
#+end_src
