Oops. I missed that. I need to update the man page.

I feel really stupid. -J journal_dev is completely broken. I guess
I've always (or at least for a long time) used "mkfs -j <journal_dev>
<device>". mkfs.jfs is trying to open the same device twice with
O_EXCL. Duh. This patch to jfsutils-1.1.8
(http://jfs.sourceforge.net/project/pub/jfsutils-1.1.8.tar.gz) should
fix it.
I still need to figure out why you're having trouble mounting the file
system.
