Two things:

o It needs colons after the LATEX_HEADER and single backslashes:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \hypersetup{
etc.

o The \usepackage commands are already (mostly) provided by the standard 
definition
  of org-export-latex-classes. The longtable \usepackage can be added by
  an option:

#+ATTR_LaTeX: longtable
