Please keep LilyPond discussions on the mail list; that way if I'm busy for
a few days, somebody else might answer.

Evidently the notation I suggested is incorrect for 1.6.10.

As it happens, the \staffContext should have been capitalized.  This works
in 1.9.8:
\paper{
        \translator { \StaffContext \remove Time_signature_engraver }
}

If that doesn't work in 1.6.10, then either upgrade LilyPond (version 2.0.0
came out today), or look through the user manual, regression tests, or the
tricks and tips examples to find the old notation for it.
