 some of your rows are quite high and since you want to repeat headers 
... this is how it works

(1) keep at least one row with a repeated header
(2) the same with a repeated footer
(3) when a combination of header/row/footer becomes too high for a page, 
ignore that fact and flush it (else we get a loop)

so, what you see is pretty natural

in your case, i'd try to make the last column wider so that less space 
gets lost and

(i can think of a way to let the text continue on too empty pages; needs 
some braincycles)
