could you further describe what you need to do? number of images
to mosaic, rows x cols, etc.? need to reproject any of them?
mix and match spectral bands as arbitrary r,g,b? fancy jpeg2000
or normal jpeg?

perhaps we could describe another method using some other free
software while you wait for the update.

e.g. GDAL's gdal_vrtmerge.py* + gdal_translate is Very Quick and
Powerful, and GRASS's r.patch + r.out.gdal could probably do it
too. Many ways to skin a cat.. (I'm guessing that doesn't
translate very well for our non-native-english speaking readers :)
