I guess you may convert the contents of the JFFS2 to a tarball by
following bits explained here :
http://maemo.org/community/wiki/ModifyingRootImage/

In particular somthing like this on a desktop GNU/Linux (if you run
2.6 kernel) :

mknod /tmp/mtdblock0 b 31 0
modprobe loop
losetup /dev/loop0 Om2008.8.rootfs.jffs2
modprobe mtdblock
modprobe block2mtd
echo "/dev/loop0" > /sys/module/block2mtd/parameters/block2mtd
modprobe jffs2
mount -t jffs2 /tmp/mtdblock0 /media/jffs2

USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISKS ;)
