Here's the result from version 5.2

In[4]:=$Version
Out[4]="5.2 for Mac OS X x86 (32-bit) (February 24, 2006)"

In[3]:=Table[Series[JacobiDN[x, m], {x, 0, n}], {n, 0, 4}]
Out[3]={1, 1, SeriesData[x, 0, {1, 0, -m/2}, 0, 3, 1], SeriesData[x,
0, {1, 0, -m/2}, 0, 4, 1],
  SeriesData[x, 0, {1, 0, -m/2, 0, m/6 + m^2/24}, 0, 5, 1]}
