you are confusing the traditional meaning of ".org" (=put code at this adress) 
with how its handled in modern assemblers with linker (=use this as a base 
for the program counter).

check the paragraph about simulating turbo-assembler behavior with ca65 in the 
docs (dont remember exactly where it was....but its there i promise :=P), it 
shows what to do to achive what you want.
