That's because, as the longtable manual states: "The [t] [b] [c] argument of
tabular can not be used."  In any case, it's for vertical alignment of the
entire table and not individual cells.

Try this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,longtable}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{>{\raggedleft}b{2.2in}b{2.2in}b{1.3in}}
  foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo
  foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo
  & bar \dotfill & baz \\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}
