It possible that you specified erase block size improperly when you 
created image of JFFS2 file system. Size of erase block can be specified 
through -e parameter of mkfs.jffs2 utility.
Erase block size can be obtained using blob. (On attmempt to write 
something blob should display size of erase block)
