Hi Suvayu,

I'm still having problems, but I'm getting slightly different results.
 With the same input file, the 3rd level headers are not exported as
subsubsections (rather than an enumerate).  I'm still not getting frames.
 I've attached the new output (from the same input file)  See inline

Yes.  I just updated org.  I'm now at:
Org-mode version 8.0-pre (release_8.0-pre-54-gb5a853 @
/user/share/emacs/site-lisp/org)

 I stripped my .emacs file to a very simple setip.  I've attached it.

Thanks for this link.  I had not found it before.  As mentioned above, my
M-x org-version looks "Good".

"M-x list-load-path-shadows" returns "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"

Is that to be expected, or am I misunderstanding how to use that function?

Looks like you've already done it :).
