Hi!
JFFS2 has known bug in GC leading to -ENOSPC upon file removal. Time ago I've sent a patch with detailed explanations of what is going on. Probably your case is the same.
Here is the patch http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2007-December/020091.html (though infradead mailing list archive is missing most of messages from this thread)
And here are some details http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2007-June/018756.html
