"you want the catalog to resolve the stylesheet itself - I'm afraid this is not supported."
"it does not use the catalog when locating the documents to transform or the stylesheet itself." Thank you, that's what I wanted to know. I couldn't see it stated categorically in the docs. I shall stop trying this approach and arrange to get the stylesheet passed in as a file-name. Can I add this as a feature request ? Saxon is able to do this, but it is run as a Java application so is able to do anything a Java app can do, in whatever way it wants to. Enquiring on either the Xsl or DocBook list indicated that although Ant's xslt task can take a classpath parameter it is not possible to get it to use Saxon due to some other limitations within one or the other.

Late on in a different message you say you want the catalog to resolve the stylesheet itself - I'm afraid this is not supported. > By "can't get it to work" I mean it doesn't find the files I'm trying > to reference via the catalog.

"no message" indicates Ant doesn't try to use the catalog at all to me. How (a build.xml snippet) are you trying catalogs to do what? The <xslt> task only uses catalogs to resolve DTDs and entities inside the XML documents - it does not use the catalog when locating the documents to transform or the stylesheet itself.
