Here's a good link on building a JFFS2 filesystem:

Try:

mount -t jffs2 -o ro /dev/mtdblockX /<mount_path>

I'd recommend booting to an NFS filesystem.  Once in Linux, you can try
mounting the JFFS2 block and debug from there.  Once you have that
working, try booting to JFFS2 via the MTD_PHYSMAP methods.
