Aloha Rainer,
Perhaps this will work? Eric Schulte wrote a function to make a LaTeX
table out of an Org-mode table. You should be able to call it from
within a LaTeX source block that tangles to a suitably named file.
There is an added benefit in the support for booktabs rules, so you'll
need to have the booktabs package installed.
hth,
Tom
