It works for me on a sarge machine. I send you the PDF in private. My
Makefile includes:

PRINT_STYLESHEET=${HOME}/lib/print.dsl
XML_DECL=/usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl
MAX_TEX_RECURSION=4

%.tex: %.db ${PRINT_STYLESHEET} 
	jade -t tex -V tex-backend \
		-d ${PRINT_STYLESHEET} \
		${XML_DECL} $<

%.pdf: %.tex
	# Trick from Adam Di Carlo <adam@onshore.com> to recurse jadetex 
	# "just enough".
	-cp -pf prior.aux pprior.aux
	-cp -pf $(shell basename $< .tex).aux prior.aux
	pdfjadetex $<
	if ! cmp $(shell basename $< .tex).aux prior.aux &&             \
		! cmp $(shell basename $< .tex).aux pprior.aux &&            \
		expr $(MAKELEVEL) '<' $(MAX_TEX_RECURSION); then             \
		rm -f $@                                                ;\
		$(MAKE) $@                                              ;\
	fi
	rm -f prior.aux pprior.aux
