I believe he used "Elohi", rather than "Eli". The possibly didn't understand Him because:
A. He was breathing heavily (victims of crucifixion die of suffocation).
B. His Galilean accent (Matthew 26:73)
C. The physical trauma He had endured was effecting His speech.
It's interesting that some Greek manuscripts of Matthew read "Eloi, Eloi".
