Wich kernel version are you using? Because I had a very similar problem and
realized that any file with a name longer than 8 characters was bad written,
although everything seemed to be ok and I could mount the partition. It was a
bug in the JFFS2 kernel driver (I think I was using 2.6.22.6) and it was
corrected later.
Maybe you should check this long names issue just to be sure.
