Just one short note here: It's way better for you setting up a 
customization layer and not invoking the DocBook XSL directly. See 
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html#CustomizationLayer

It may only seem as another piece of work to be done at the moment but 
it will pay off in many ways soon.

Xalan does find the docbook.xsl and then tries to execute the first 
include statement there (<xsl:include href="../VERSION"/>). Then it 
cannot find the file "../VERSION" although it's existing for sure. 
Conclusion: Xalan does not know how to map the URIs to real paths on 
your system.

How does the header of your test.xml look like?

You probably better should set up a XML catalog first an not mess around 
with filesystem paths at the commandline. See
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Catalogs.html

Since your environment is German, I suppose you are speaking German. If 
so, there's another piece of reading for you, giving you some more 
insights into DocBook processing to understand what's actually going on. 
There's also an implementation of an ANT buildfile you can start with:
