This is help from the R side, not from the org-babel side.  If these
suggestions don't work, one of the babelers will have to step in.

Many functions that print output to the interactive buffer will not
produce that output when called outside of the interactive buffer.  For
these functions, if you wrap them in print() you can usually get the
results you want.  So, in your R code blocks, try

  print(summary(whatever))

and

  print(str(whatever))

If all you need is the names of the columns,

  print(names(whatever))

might be useful.
