An easy way to check is in terminal emulator type the following:
Su and hit enter
Then type, tune2fs.ext 4 -l /dev/block/stl9 and hit enter
That will spit out a large list, somewhere in the middle will be a line that says journaling. If its there then journaling is on and if you don't see it than it is still off

Also try bonsai if you want a more stable way of having a journaling enabled rom, they have a file to flash first before the rom instead of forcing it back on after the system folder is created
