IIUC, columns is a "container" environment for other column
environments.  Here is an example from my slides:

\begin{frame}[label=sec-3-4]{Distinguishing CP eigenstates}
  \begin{columns}
    \begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
      \begin{figure}[htb]
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{fig1.eps}
        \caption{m$_\mathrm{ES}$ for B₋ → cc̄K$_S$}
      \end{figure}
    \end{column}
    \begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
      \begin{figure}[htb]
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{fig2.eps}
        \caption{ΔE for B₊ → J/ψK$_L$}
      \end{figure}
    \end{column}
  \end{columns}
\end{frame}

So I would think the overlay specification is appropriate for column,
not columns.

Hope this helps,
