I looked into this, and the problem is an incompatibility between SQLite
and JFS.  When SQLite commits a transaction, it uses 'fsync' on a
directory, which is apparently not supported by JFS.  This problem was
noticed by an AIX user back in 2008.  It looks like they worked around
the problem by changing SQLite's behavior on AIX systems, but that
obviously doesn't help you.

I think your best option is to switch back to ext3 or ext4.
