Hi Carsten - thanks for looking into this. I pulled the latest version and the problem was still present.
Here's a minimal setup.
I run
/usr/bin/emacs -Q -l test.el example.org<http://example.org>
with test.el containing
(setq load-path (cons "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org/lisp" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org/contrib/lisp" load-path))
(require 'org-install)
;; The following lines are always needed. Choose your own keys.
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'<smb://.org//'>" . org-mode))
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(case-fold-search nil))
and the example.org<http://example.org> containing the org document at the end of http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export:

I've been having a problem exporting to beamer. I've now found the
problem and fixed it, but it was (to my mind) something pretty
obscure, and I think it might be of interest to the list, at least
as a salutary tale.
When I opened an org file such as the example beamer presentation
from the manual (section 12.6.6) and executed C-c C-e d, it kept
generating a .tex file with an article document class, instead of
the expected beamer class.
After a few days of frustrated searching through the manual and
tutorials, and this list, for any clues, I found some advice to run
something like
/usr/bin/emacs -Q -l test.el
with a series of versions of test.el progressively approximating
my .emacs file. I was expecting the problem to lie in one of my org-
or latex-specific settings, but eventually found the cause of the
problem to be that the variable
case-fold-search
was being set to nil (its default value) as one of my custom-set-
variables. I don't remember why. Anyway, according to the
information from C-h v, this makes the setting buffer-local, and for
some reason that fouled up the beamer export. When I commented out
that line, everything worked as advertised.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who could shed light on why
that might be.
Well,
apparently Org does do a search that relies on case-fold-search
being t. Normally when this is the case
I try to set this explicitly to t during the function call.
Can you make a minimal example with your setup and a small file which
reproduced the error?
