The problem has been solved...
The reason that "ls" didn't work from u-boot, was that the boards' 
u-boot config-file included an erroneous nand-size:

#define CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE 64*1024*1024

My board had only one configuration-file associated, but multiple 
nand-size configurations.

The jffs2-image problems were related to the endianess problems of 
mkfs.jffs2:

Thanks for all,
