Hmmm... I do.... ahh... but did you also apply the patches to openjade
that you need to apply? Check out:
http://indev.insu.com/openjade/
Because you have the new JadeTex, you can avoid all the JadeTex patches,
but you will need to patch and recompile openjade. (which you can get
from http://openjade.sourceforge.net/)
Apologies for not mentioning that earlier.

You don't, if you are happy with the 3pt value. If you want to change
the value, you *should* add them to your customization layer rather
than changing them directly in the file.

Oops... yes, that is correct. I was reading email remotely and
couldn't copy and paste from the file... so I just typed them in
and obviously forgot the critical '-' there.

How are you generating the PDF? If you are ultimately calling
openjade, you will need to patch the program as mentioned earlier.
Hope this helps,
Dan
