I should have also added that, besides the bits in the org files, you
need to add the time-stamp command to the write-file-hook list so that
time-stamp is automatically invoked whenever you write the file out:

(add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)

This should be in your .emacs (or equivalent).
