You did not enable debugging, as it is asked for here:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html#L_how_send_bugreport
But I took a look into the code, and the following is error 9:
if (reserved_pebs > ubi->good_peb_count) {
dbg_err("too large reserved_pebs %d, good PEBs %d",
reserved_pebs, ubi->good_peb_count);
err = 9;
goto bad;
}
This means you created a too large UBI volume in the image,
and your real flash is smaller.
Try to enable UBI debugging, and type dmesg, then you'll see
reserved and real eraseblock numbers.
