The service log is not the same as the journal.  The service log is a
record of the output of fsck, which can be retrieved after the fact.

jfs_fsck probably ignored the -j flag.  If the file system uses an
internal journal (the default), jfs_fsck doesn't try to open an external
journal, so var-previous-journal will be ignored.

I can't explain why this fixed your problem.  :-)
