This works for me, cutting and pasting exactly what you have posted into a small org file.

Output from my *Messages* buffer:
,----
| Wrote /tmp/x.org
| org-babel-exp process latex at position 128...

`----
when I export to LaTeX.  What does your message log say?

Finally, what version of org are you using?  (maybe should have asked this first...)
