this time tested:

% interface=en output=pdftex
% Time-stamp: <Mittwoch, 05 Oktober 2005 15:41:00; layer.tex>
%

\definelayer[markings][width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight, repeat=yes]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background={markings}]


\starttext

\setlayer[markings][x=.5\paperwidth, y=20mm, location=c]%
  {\tt \txx "\jobname" - \currentdate [y,/,mm,/,dd]\ - \currenttime\ -
\realfolio\ of \lastpage}

\hbox{}% dummy; else no output

\stoptext

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: context
%%% TeX-master: ""
%%% End:


See details.pdf for layer usage :)
