Yes, thanks, I figured this out on the way home (the advantage of a
long commute is time to play!) before I got your email. The tangling
works like a charm. What's even better is that ability to specify the
tangle property as an org property which only affects code blocks
within a certain heading! Fantastic.

Attached is my simple, linux only, org-babel solution and an example
org file which uses it. Note, I've still not had a chance to look at
the ob-template in Worg so I'm sure my ob-ledger file could be
improved...
Thanks again all those who have contributed to babel!

*** income and expenses
:PROPERTIES:
:tangle: account.ledger
:END:
The property for this heading specifies where the tangled output of
the ledger code blocks in what follows should end up.
***** income
The first set of entries relates to income, either monthly pay or
interest, all typically going into my bank account.
#+begin_src ledger
2010/01/01 * Starting balance
assets:bank:savings £1300.00
income:starting balances
2010/07/22 * Got paid
assets:bank:chequing £1000.00
income:salary
2010/07/31 * Interest on bank savings
assets:bank:savings £3.53
income:interest
2010/07/31 * Transfer savings
assets:bank:savings £250.00
assets:bank:chequing
2010/08/01 got paid again
assets:bank:chequing £1000.00
income:salary
#+end_src
***** expenses
The following entries relate to personal expenses (rent and food).
#+begin_src ledger
2010/07/23 Rent
expenses:rent £500.00
assets:bank:chequing
2010/07/24 Food
expenses:food £150.00
assets:bank:chequing
#+end_src
*** Financial summary
Assuming you have tangled the ledger entries (=C-c C-v t=), you can now
perform all kinds of calculations
***** overall summary
The overall balance of your account and expenditure with a breakdown
according to category:
#+begin_src ledger :cmdline -s bal :results value
!include /home/ucecesf/s/test/account.ledger
#+end_src
#+results:
#+begin_example
£2653.53 assets:bank
£1100.00 chequing
£1553.53 savings
£650.00 expenses
£150.00 food
£500.00 rent
£-3303.53 income
£-3.53 interest
£-2000.00 salary
£-1300.00 starting balances
#+end_example
***** monthly register
You can also generate a monthly register by executing the following:
#+begin_src ledger :cmdline -M -w reg
!include /home/ucecesf/s/test/account.ledger
#+end_src
#+results:
#+begin_example
2010/01/01 - 2010/01/31 assets:bank:savings
