I get the same error using TL2008 on linux, so it looks like a bug in
context. All is not lost, however, as your file does work using MKiV
with the context minimal distro:
It also seems to work with MacTeX 2008 with (slightly) newer ConTeXt and mkii.
(ConTeXt ver: 2008.07.31 16:30 MKII fmt: 2008.8.4 int: english/english)
Maybe it was just a bug in TL version of ConTeXt. (There are some
notes about updating on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV,
but there are some mkiv-related problems with updating that are
currently being resolved. So you would also need to update luatools
and mtxrun binaries manually.)

So the solution lies somewhere between 2008.05 MkII and 2008.08 MkIV.
Simpler documents do work using 2008.05 MkII in TL2008, but if you are
starting out you may do better to focus on MkIV.

Well, I installed Context Minimals and used MKIV and it worked. Thanks
for the help.
