You need to provide separate sets of code for the header of the first page of a longtable and for the header of the subsequent pages. Something like the following should work for you:

\begin{longtable}{r r r r r r}
\caption[List of tables caption.]{Here is the caption beside the table with long text.}\label{tab:addlabel} \\
\toprule
Time & MAD & Group & Par1 & Par2 & Par3 \\
\midrule
\endfirsthead
\toprule
Time & MAD & Group & Par1 & Par2 & Par3 \\
\midrule
\endhead
...

Note that the code for \endhead is the same as for \endfirsthead except for the omitted \caption[]{} line.

Addendum by Skillmon:

The above approach will use the normal foot instead of the firstfoot if the longtable will only take a single page and lastfoot wasn't used. The following is almost identical to the above code, but it will use the firstfoot on a single page longtable.

The precedence for the footer on a single page longtable will be:

lastfoot, and if that's empty
firstfoot, and if that's empty
foot.

Code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[a6paper,showframe]{geometry}

[Tex/LaTex] longtable list of tables caption problem

It always helps if you post a complete document showing all packages loaded, but as a guess longtable toc is written by

\def\LT@c@ption#1[#2]#3{%
  \LT@makecaption#1\fnum@table{#3}%
  \def\@tempa{#2}%
  \ifx\@tempa\@empty\else
     {\let\\\space
     \addcontentsline{lot}{table}{\protect\numberline{\thetable}{#2}}}%
  \fi}

So if you had

\makeatletter
\def\LT@c@ption#1[#2]#3{%
  \LT@makecaption#1\fnum@table{#3}%
  \def\@tempa{#2}%
  \ifx\@tempa\@empty\else
     {\let\\\space
     \addcontentsline{lot}{table}{\protect\numberline{Table \thetable.}{#2}}}%
  \fi}
\makeatother

Then Table would appear in the toc (or use whatever other format your caption style is using in \addcontentsline)
