Hi there seems to be a bug in the table transfer. The org file below evaluates as shown, i.e. the TABLE_BLOCK contains one column less then it should as the first column is discarded and the second one used as the row names. This only occurs when there is a second variable defined. When the second variable is not passed, the code works (see second example below). I did not get far when debugging, only that in the function org-babel-R-assign-elisp when assigning TABLE_FILE the rownames are missing in the =value=.
