Org-Mode 8.07 LaTeX Beamer export does not parse headings to frames during export

Hi,

I am trying to move my beamer export settings to the new exporter, but I
cannot even get a minimal example from the documentation to work properly.
Specifically, Org-Mode headings do not get parsed to frames during export
to LaTeX Beamer.

I added the minimal beamer export setup from
http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/ox-beamer.html to my .emacs:

(require 'ox-latex)
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
             '("beamer"
               "\\documentclass\[presentation\]\{beamer\}"
               ("\\section\{%s\}" . "\\section*\{%s\}")
               ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}")
               ("\\subsubsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsubsection*\{%s\}")))


Using the minimal example from the documentation
http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html

     #+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer
     #+TITLE: Example Presentation
     #+AUTHOR: Carsten Dominik
     #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation]

         :PROPERTIES:
         :BEAMER_env: block
         :END:

the headings do not parse to beamer frames. This is the LaTeX output I get:

Help would be greatly appreciated.

I have struggled with this myself. The answer is that the following line
will give what you want:

#+OPTIONS: H:2

I'm not sure why the BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL instruction doesn't handle that,
but the OPTIONS seems needed.

BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL doesn't exist anymore. Worg is not up-to-date wrt exporter
documentation. Org manual is.
