What version of the stylesheets and what version of jadetex are you using?
I know that some versions of the stylesheet had the following set 
in print/dbtable.dsl:

;; Adam Di Carlo, 
(define %cals-cell-before-column-margin% 
  (cond ((equal? (print-backend) 'tex)
         0pt)
        (else
         3pt)))

But newer jadetex don't need this workaround.  I think it is
removed in newer versions of the stylesheet.

Always set the margin to 3pt.  Then you should be fine.
