Could you please try to enable debugging, as it is asked here:

http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html#L_how_send_bugreport

And I do not understand why you did not provide all UBIFS output.
The print is:

ubifs_err("bad superblock, error %d", err);

and you did not provide error code number.
