The problem was that until very recently, docutils.jam didn't work at
all with a standard docutils installation.  It was necessary to download
a docutils source distribution and then, in user-config.jam:

  using docutils : path/to/docutils/source/distro ;

In the trunk you can now install docutils and then:

  using docutils 
  : # empty
  : directory/of/installed/rst2html.py ;

HTH,
