I can't tell what is going wrong with your setup.  I took
your sample, saved it to a file, changed just the pathname
in the NDATA entity to match a file on my system, and
successfully processed it with this command:

java \
   -cp "../docbook-xsl-1.62.1/extensions/saxon651.jar:../saxon652/saxon.jar" \
   com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet \
   -o entityref.html \
   entityref.xml \
   ../docbook-xsl-1.61.2/html/docbook.xsl \
   use.extensions=1

Is the HTML output an empty <PRE>, or is there anything
there at all?
