No idea then. You must be skipping a step somewhere, or something else is wrong, cause this should just work. Check in System Log for any error related to jffs2, otherwise I have no other idea.

Type the following commands and show us the output:

# mount
# nvram get jffs2_on
# ls -l /jffs/
# mkdir /jffs/scripts
# grep -i jffs /tmp/syslog.log

Also file 'system.log' after reboot in attach

Very strange. it seems to be the same problem as reported here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/forums/showthread.php?p=105727

Your syslog is missing an entry like this:
