Noo?! I used mkfs.jffs2 from ELDK 3.0:

# mkfs.jffs2 --version
mkfs.jffs2 revision 1.25

# which mkfs.jffs2
/usr/local/eldk/usr/bin/mkfs.jffs2

# cat /usr/local/eldk/version
ELDK version 3.0
ppc_4xx: Build 2004-02-16

But ofcourse, I guess the above error blocked u-boot from putting the 
correct image in the nand...
