Sorry for posting this on the wrong list.

For completeness sake:
The solution was fairly simple, all i had to do was set the loopdevice up
correctly with the right byte-offset inside the image and forget about the
erasesz-option to the blkmtd module (eg):

  losetup -o 5881928 /dev/loop0 file.img
  modprobe blkmtd device=/dev/loop0
  mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/cfmnt

  ...

  umount /dev/mtdblock0
  rmmod blkmtd; rmmod jffs2;
  losetup -d /dev/loop0

After that, one can safely dd the image to the cf-card w/o loosing
partitionings, grub etc.

Sorry again,
chris
