It appears that you have SHA-crypt hashes.  John only supports those on
recent Linux and Solaris systems.  doc/README says:

"When running on Linux distributions with glibc 2.7+, John 1.7.6+
additionally supports (and autodetects) SHA-crypt hashes (which are
actually used by recent versions of Fedora and Ubuntu), with optional
OpenMP parallelization (requires GCC 4.2+, needs to be explicitly
enabled at compile-time by uncommenting the proper OMPFLAGS line near
the beginning of the Makefile).

Similarly, when running on recent versions of Solaris, John 1.7.6+
supports and autodetects SHA-crypt and SunMD5 hashes, also with
optional OpenMP parallelization ..."

However, magnum has since implemented support for SHA-crypt in an
OS-independent way.  This functionality is available in his github tree,
which is going to become the next -jumbo release.  You may give it a try:
