These are instructions for MkII (and PostScript Type 1 fonts).
You are most likely running MkIV (with an Open Type version of
your font). How to write a typescript for OpenType Fonts is
explained in the manual:

  http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf

Btw. are you aware of Termes, which is an updated version of
Nimbus? It also comes bundled with and configured for Context.
Try

  \setupbodyfont[termes,10pt]
  \starttext whatever \stoptext

Regards
Philipp
