The positioning of the  \label  *within* the  \begin{table} ... \end{table}
is important.  To quote from the \LaTeX{}book, p.~72:
	Since there can be several captions in a  figure  or
	  table  environment,  \caption  works like a sectioning
	command within the environment, with the  \label  command
	going either after the  \caption  command or in its
	argument.
If you do this it should work ok.
