Hi Thomas,

I use Mac OS X (10.3 since today... but the following is independent 
of whether you use 10.2 or 10.3) together with TeXShop and Gerben 
Wierda's distribution of TeX.

The first example you sent, that is:

%% first example
\startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright}
picture p ; p := btex COPYRIGHT etex rotated 90 ;
setbounds p to boundingbox p enlarged 1pt ;
draw p withcolor .8white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture
xysized (\overlaywidth,\overlayheight) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[copyright][\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}]

\setupbackgrounds[text][rightmargin][background=copyright]

\starttext
\input knuth.tex
\stoptext
%% end first example

does not produce what is expected. The second example you sent, that is:

%% second example
\startuseMPgraphic{draft}
draw "draft" infont "phvb" scaled 9 rotated 65 withcolor .95white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-3cm) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[draft][\uniqueMPgraphic{draft}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=draft]


\starttext
\input knuth.tex
\stoptext
%% end second example

does produce the watermark "draft". The third example

%% third example

\startuseMPgraphic{brouillon}
draw btex brouillon etex ;
% draw "brouillon" infont "phvb" scaled 6 rotated 70 withcolor .95white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-3cm) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[brouillon][\uniqueMPgraphic{brouillon}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=brouillon]


\starttext
\input knuth.tex
\stoptext
%% end third example

does not produce what is expected.

I should say that I am not enough self-confidence to change the file 
cont-sys.tex as suggested by Patrick...

Best regards: OK
