This is a huge problem with the current sandbox organization. After spending a couple hours the other day trying to get boost.build to work in the sandbox tree I gave up in frustration and had to copy sandbox directories into my boost tree to use bjam. This is very annoying to say the least.

I made it work for Units by putting <include>$(BOOST_ROOT) <include>../../.. in the test and example Jamfiles, and setting BOOST_ROOT appropriately in boost-build.jam and project-root.jam
To build the documentation I had to make a few edits to Boost.Build.
You shouldn't have to do that: take a look at the sandbox/math_toolkit/libs/math directory, the project-root.jam in there let's you just set BOOST_ROOT to point to your main Boost tree and then away you go! No other modifications required. The only slightly tricky thing is refering to other libraries that are in your main Boost tree, but there are some examples for that as well :-) HTH, John.
