   I assume you're on a Unix/Linux system, given your use of basename,
so here's a workaround.  In your DSSSL script, put:

<!doctype style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN" [
<!entity stdin SYSTEM "<osfd>0">
]>

at the top (or put that entity declaration in the declaration subset,
anyway), and something like:

(define %output-dir% "&stdin;")

further down.  Then, invoke Jade like:

echo -n `dirname /my/file.sgml` | jade -t sgml -d my.dsl /my/file.sgml

   The -n tells echo not to append a newline.  Adjust as needed if
your echo works differently.  This could probably be made into a shell
script so that you can just type the filename once.
