Hi Gerhard,

I looked into your log file and it shows

  ConTeXt  ver: 2003.1.31  fmt: 2006.1.23  int: english  mes: english

It's an ancient ConTeXt version, you need to uprade your ConTeXt version
first to get a splittet table.

You should download the latest stable version from pragma.

If you want a repeated header on every page try to put
  \setuptables[split=repeat]
into your document.

With new versions from ConTeXt you do no longer the
   \starttables ... \stoptables
command.

Hans changed it to control table splitting completely with split-option
in \setuptables and makes to let the normal  \starttable-environment
split when neccessary.

You should look at the wiki how to upgrade your TeX-distribution.
