It appears that the above now creates a table, not a recutils file. 
Spaces are the delimiter,


#+begin_src sh?? :file test.rec
cat << EOF
# -*- mode: rec -*-

%rec: somerecord

Account: something
Amount: 0.00

#### end of file
EOF

#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
| #?????????????? | -*-?????????????? | mode: | rec?? | -*- |
| %rec:?????? | somerecord |???????????? |?????????? |???????? |
| Account: | sometyhing |???????????? |?????????? |???????? |
| Amount:?? | 0.0?????????????? |???????????? |?????????? |???????? |
