Longtables do not work in floats, and it seems that your table is in a
float.

There might be ways around, but I am not aware of any (and doubt they are
useful).

Anything else I might be doing wrong?

floats.But have a look at the online help to confirm this

Hi list,
I have a problem with longtables.
All tables are placed inside floats and have a caption.
When I tick in the table dialog at the longtable box the first table in 
my document will be counted as No. 2 (Table 2) and the next one Table 
3. When I deselect the longtable option the 1rst table gets counted 
correctly as No. 1.
Why doesen't the counting of tables work with the first table as a 
longtable?

Thanks and Greetings
Holger

 Hi I've got a figure float with many sub-figures which I have 
 put into a longtable. The thing is that the figure float runs 
 into several pages but the longtable doesn't seem to want to 
 split. How can this be done? Any suggestions? Thanks.

don't use a float or write your own environment if you need
the caption. e.g.

\newcounter{myCounter}[section]
\newcommand{\myCaption}[1]{%
  \vspace{0.5cm}\noindent\refstepcounter{myCounter} \sc Table %
  \rm\thesection .\arabic{myCounter}\hspace{0.2cm}\rm\ #1%
}
