Could you provide the command line you invoked it with?  
How about the test file?

It looks like it can't find the docbook DTDs.  Do you have a catalog
installed, so that it can map the public identifier:
	    "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN"
to a system identifier, i.e. the path that you've installed the DocBook DTD?

In an earlier posting, you wrote:

Wherever you want.  I'd be inclined to not put them in the dsssl directory, 
just because the dsssl style sheets and the DTD are two separate
components, and it will be easier to update each of them if they're
siblings or cousins, rather than parent/child.

If you are using the docbook.cat file which shipped with DocBook, you
shouldn't have to edit anything.  (I a customized catalog file, but
use the CATALOG directive to include the catalog that's shipped with
DocBook.)
