Can you run with CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DEBUG=1 and show the output while you 
unlink the file, then open it again?

Preferably using a serial console, and they'll be KERN_DEBUG messages so 
you'll need to echo 9 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk to make them get printed.

Show me your jffs2_unlink() and jffs2_do_unlink() -- and indeed the rest of 
it :)
