If i do have to flash the eMMC, I now have the problem that I can't get at any backup files I've got to export them and make them safe from the flash.
Something is not right here as you are saying you cannot get to your backup files so what did you do to do a backup?.
If you use PCSUITE the backup is on your pc not on the mobile and even if you did a backup using the N900 utility it would give you the option of where to save that and the obvious place is in fact your memory card, having said all that a flash would not clear anything from your memory card and not even an emmc flash would do that.
So this is very confusing what your saying.
Incidently IF you flash with the leaked fw you will not have the "enough space in rootfs problem"
Me thinks your not flashing correctly.
