This is because "LaTeX_CLASS" and "LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS" properties are
not recognized as export properties. You have to use them as a buffer
keyword (#+LATEX_CLASS: beamer).

I suppose you know about Eric S Fraga's tutorial at:

  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-beamer/tutorial.html

Since the back-end shares a lot with its previous incarnation, you will
find, /mutatis mutandis/, much information about it.
