It looks to me that no page number has been assigned to LastPage.
Your tex code has typeset ok on my MacBook Pro with gwTeX and TeXLive07 
with both pdftex and latex commands. I have added a 2nd page and all is 
the way you intended: (over) on p.1; the date on p.2.

I'm not sure, but perhaps you could try to run latex (pdflatex) a couple 
of times. (In any way, I did not get any error message in the output 
buffer, nor in the log.)
