To get the current time, you don't need to do that any more. After
Carsten's change org shows that by default. Just remove that entry from
your agenda file and if you have any entries for today, the current time
shows up as NOW by default. You can even customise the face by
customising the face `org-agenda-current-time'.

As for your problem with your current setup, I think the problem is you
call the incorrect sexp. The entry should be,

%%(jd:org-current-time)
