In that case this probably won't help much, but I will reiterate the
suggestion for using biblatex next time. I made the switch from
jurabib->biblatex and suddenly found that, despite little-to-no
experience with the (IMO, unpleasant) tex+latex languages, I went from
blindly pasting together complicated jurabib hacks to cobbling together
macros which actually functioned intuitively and as advertised. This
seems to be at least somewhat a symptom of broader architectural issues
with bibtex, but, especially with jurabib now unmaintained, this
recommendation still stands.

If you really can't get your residual issues with jurabib sorted out, I
don't think it would be _too_ hard to convert. I managed to put
together a functional Turabian (footnote)-cited document with biblatex,
something I never could get to work quite right with jurabib.

Thanks for the package, Jens; it served me well for several research
papers :).
