Why are you not using something that you know works? Try the following
for example.

#+name: xvar
|"ahaRx"|

#+name: myblock
#+begin_src R :var xxx=xvar
xxx
#+end_src

#+RESULTS: myblock
: ahaRx

As I understand it, Babel can read from tables and lists only.
Actually, to me, reading from a block of text doesn't make much sense
for a source block. What kind of data structure would it represent
(other than a long string of course :-p)?
