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:
