QUESTION:
1) How do I mount my USB Flash Drive onto /opt partition ?
2) Specifying UUID="98DA-C470" for 'Mount Partition to /opt'
or 'Mount Partition to /jffs' under 'Menu -> Services -> USB ' does not work

Did you reboot after Apply settings?
What you did was correct... strange that the Disk Info list didn't show any UUIDs but the "blkid" command. The UUID format is weird, too short and unlike ext2 partition UUID.
Another useful command is "disktype /dev/sda", which should output the same as the USB page in the WEUI.
I suspect it's an UUID issue. I now am using ext2 partitions, never quite followed up the FAT32 issue. If you disabled USB Automount, you might be able to do your own mounting using /dev/sdx as device ID instead of UUID.
Change the volume name in GParted or Partition wizard. Change the name to "Optware". It will auto mount to /opt.
JFFS may have to be written as "Jffs" or "JFFS", I am not sure about that one.

Format using MiniTool Partition Wizard, have only one partition and label it as "OPTWARE". Use FAT32 format instead of ext2. Magic happened, it's work !!
