I suggest you cut this down to a very basic test case:

1. Erase flash
2. mount
3. cat /proc/yaffs
4. ls -ial /mnt/yaffs >/mnt/yaffs/xx #make a very small file
5. cat /proc/fs
6. umount
7. mount
8. cat /proc/yaffs

You need to have either yaffs of mtd doing the ecc.

You seem to have a lot of bad blocks which is consistent with an mtd/ecc 
problem.
