Unfortunately, I experienced also some problems with xmllint in regard to 
DocBook5 validation. I would suggest to try another validator, for 
example jing or msv. See the following link for more information:

  http://www.docbook.org/docs/howto/#validators

By the way: You can also use XInclude instead of external entities. This 
technique is also described in the above document.
