I think there is some confusion here:

  JFFS2 - Journaled Flash Filing System 2 is for use on nand flash 
devices (e.g. direct nand flash - where the processor does i/o directly 
to the flash chip).
  SDcards - have a micro-controller that performs flash block 
wear-leveling and presents a block-like interface to the system.  For SD 
cards you want to use a standard file system - like FAT or ext2.

  Correct me if I'm wrong here - but I don't even think you can use 
jffs2 on a non-mtd device.
