I can access the jffs2 partition i.e read/write/execute files from it. Wich kernel version are you using? Because I had a very similar problem and= realized that any file with a name longer than 8 characters was bad writte= n, although everything seemed to be ok and I could mount the partition. It = was a bug in the JFFS2 kernel driver (I think I was using 2.6.22.6) and it = was corrected later. Maybe you should check this long names issue just to be sure.
