This happens because you have no erased blocks to use for further allocation.

From the /proc/yaffs

nErasedBlocks...... 0

What you don't say is when you captured the /proc/yaffs and how you got the 
system into this state.

There should never be fewer than about 5 erased blocks.

Can you do the following:

1) Erase partition
2) Mount
3) capture /proc/yaffs and output from ls -ial
4) Do whatever it is you do to get into this state. With some explanation.
5) capture /proc/yaffs.
