Don't enable debug output if you don't want to see this message :-)

The message just says that the the direntry was skipped because 
jffs2_readdir() was called with f_pos = 3, probably someone explicitly 
wanted to read directory from offset = 3 (for example by means of 
calling seek(fd, 3 SEEK_SET) to the parent directory). Try to sett the 
position to zero.
