Works for me.  Are you sure there isn't an error 
somewhere else?  Show more of the commands you 
are giving, and/or make sure Stata is up to date.

Here is test1.ado

program test1
        sysuse auto
        jknife r(mean): sum price
end

Here is what happens when you run it:

. test1
(1978 Automobile Data)
(running summarize on estimation sample)

Jackknife replications (74)
----+--- 1 ---+--- 2 ---+--- 3 ---+--- 4 ---+--- 5
..................................................    50
........................

Jackknife results                               Number of obs      =        74
                                                Replications       =        74

      command:  summarize price
        _jk_1:  r(mean)
          n():  r(N)
