Peter,
Your Latitude is right on. The Longitude is off but this is expected since my observation of M.P. did not match the calculated M.P. for the GPS position. Try adding the following observations which weren't included in the original post.
Jupiter 5 Jan. 2011
UT 00:30:20 Hs 53� 17.2'
UT 00:39:21 Hs 53� 31.3'
UT 00:58:16 Hs 53� 34.3'
This should get your Longitude a bit closer.
