Bastien beat me to it. Yes, the example syntax is for Org > 8.0.
Here's a version of the manual for v7.9:
- 
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/org.html#Tables-in-LaTeX-export

I'm not sure what the proper argument is and can't test since I'm on
the current version of Org from git. You might take a look at the
placement= argument?

I'm having a tough time finding info on LaTeX with what makes a table
left or right aligned (not the columns, but the table itself). Most of
the hits are on how to *center* the table, which seems to suggest they
will be left aligned by default.

Sorry not to be of better help -- I think Bastien's suggestion to
upgrade to 8.0 is the right move. A lot of the mailing list has likely
made the move and thus it's hard to troubleshoot versions with the old
exporter syntax.


Best regards,
John
