That works for me, too.  The following correctly does not work:

  :PROPERTIES:
  :header-args:R: :var user="loris"
  :END:

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

  #+RESULTS:
  : user

To be honest, I find it is a wee bit confusing that it's

  #+PROPERTY: header-args:sh :var user="loris"

*without* a colon after the language (if I add it, there is not error,
but the variable is just not set) but

  :PROPERTIES:
  :header-args:sh: :var user="loris"
  :END:

*with* a colon after the language, but maybe I'm just easily confused
 :-)

Thanks for the help,

Loris
