I open this org file with :
: emacs -q -L ~/sources/org-mode/lisp -l org.el --eval '(setq org-export-babel-evaluate nil)' tmp/mytest.org
where tmp/mytest.org is the name of the file.

First, I notice that adding the :ARCHIVE: tag to the first headline
and trying to show column view doesn't work. it seems to do
nothing. Ok so let's remove that tag again.

Now, hitting =C-c C-c= in the code block gives ~Reference not
found~. Which reference is it ? IDK.

Removing the TBLNAME line and hitting =C-c C-c= on the code block
again now gives ~Reference `mytable' not found in this buffer~. I
guess it's a better error ?

Now when I'm trying to export, I get the same errors as above, even
though I have =org-export-babel-evaluate= set to =nil=.

I honestly don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if it's org acting weird.

I have Org-mode version 8.3.4 (release_8.3.4-759-g9508dc @ /home/youngfrog/sources/org-mode/lisp/) 
I have GNU Emacs 24.5.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.10) of 2015-05-18 on localhost
