Why JFFS2 if it's readonly and the sectors are protected? Surely cramfs 
would suffice? JFFS2 doesn't deal nicely with the read-only case ATM, 
although it's simple enough to fix. That's not the main problem though.

What's at offset 0x1fffc in the partition? 0x1985? What '-e' value was 
given to mkfs.jffs2?
