Hi Fabian, DISTINCT is implemented. I need to have a look at the query to see why it is not working in this case. My guess it is because of the BIND (which is awkward to implement in SQL). I am in the middle of preparing for ISWC, so I am not sure I will manage this week if the problem is more complex. :-S
A good way to see WHY a SPARQL query is not working is to turn on debug logging for SPARQL, add the debug log appender to SPARQL and then run the query. The marmotta-debug.log file will then contain the SQL produced by the SPARQL query.
