What about the rear washer?

Yes, the same reservoir and pump are used for all the washer locations. I've heard that the pump spins in reverse to squirt the rear window. There will be lines and check valves for the rear just like for the front and the headlights. I'm not sure exactly where they are, but with a bit of poking around up front they should turn up. Most likely the check valve for the rear has died on you.
Those %&(()^&*! check valves appear to be a replacement item. I have no idea why Saab designed such a complicated and fragile system. I replaced by windshield check valves early last year, then by Fall the headlight and rear window washers have failed. Looks like when one check valve goes, they all ought to be replaced. What a pain in the butt!
