I just tried to apply that patch and get:
---
$ patch -p1 < ../tj3.patch
patching file org-taskjuggler.el
patch: **** malformed patch at line 9: completed, chart
---

Not sure what's wrong.

Even so, see my most recent thread
(http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg51502.html).
Even if that patch works, it's not a viable solution. It sets a
"default" value, but this is really *the* value as in there's no way
to override it from the file. If you want a different export format,
you have to edit your emacs config. The variable should be called
'org-taskjuggler-export-report'. I think the ability to include a .tji
file is the way to go. Write your report definition, add =include
"reports.tji"= to the exporter and you're all set.
