Can you check that the jffs2 image was indeed written on the NAND (by 
using some bootloader commands)?
By dumping and HEX comparing, lets say, first few bytes, kbytes...

Are you sure that this NAND device (partition) is located on 
/dev/mtdblk0 (as the error suggests)? If you have NOR flash also present
