Hi Ken,

In order for caching to work, the results of the code block must exist
in the org-mode file.  For example, the following code block will be
evaluated when triggered either interactively or during export

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :cache yes
  (+ 2 2)
#+end_src

alternately, this block will not be evaluated when triggered either
interactively or on export, because the cached results are present

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :cache yes
  (+ 2 2)
#+end_src

#+results[9b77429d6cea71daf37e21ee09170810b9905066]:
: 4

In your example, for the code block to not be evaluated as part of the
export process, you must first evaluate it manually within the Org-mode
file, leaving the results (with the hash tag) saved in the Org-mode
file.
