First, you should not need the longtables module; longtables have been a 
built-in feature of LyX for a while.

Second, just for future reference, you should put any new modules in 
~/.lyx/layouts, not ~/.lyx.

As to why the longtable settings are disabled, are you trying to put the table
inside a float?  Floats are restricted to a single page, so longtables do not
work inside floats (and LyX will not let you put one there).  If the settings
are disabled when you insert a table into the main text body, that is indeed a
problem.
