We are currently using u-boot 0.4.0 on our custom MPC8270 board with a

JFFS2 and we are encountering problems similar to the problem posted

Not entirely sure if this was resolved because the thread just died
without
the real answer.
I fixed some JFFS2 problems for U-Boot 0.4.8. If you can't just use the latest U-Boot you need to update fs/jffs2/jffs2_1pass.c and include/jffs2/jffs2.h.
Before the patch a clean jffs2 image from mkfs.jffs2 would work fine, but I had problems if I copied a new kernel in with cp or ftp. It would usually (but not always) be corrupted when read by U-Boot, but it was fine when read by Linux.
