The problem is that you need to get rid of the empty lines between the
table information (name, caption) and the actual table:

Delete the line after the #+name and it will work: if you look at the
LaTeX, you'll see a table environment around the tabular structure and
that's needed to get labels that you can referece.

Not sure why the empty line matters, mind you...
