The access() function is hard to implement on an embedded system.
This is especially true when the filesystem has user,group,other
access permissions. Which user is accessing the file? Which group is
this user a member of? The access() function will basically tell you
if the file exists or not. It does not try to check if you have
permissions to access it. 

It could be that jffs2 permissions on the file are r--r--r-- so you
have no rights to open the file for writing. 

So, two suggestions. 

Single step into the open code and see why jffs2 is refusing to open
the file.

Look at the output from stat(). What permissions are on the file.
