Mark,

Setting band names is not supported by most format drivers, including
the jpeg2000 drivers.

To set the band color interpretation I would suggest using the
-co PHOTOMETRIC=RGB flag to gdal_merge.py.  This is a TIFF specific
flag, but once the TIFF file is set appropriately; hopefully the JPEG2000
will pick it up too.

The only other user-accessable mechanism for setting band color interpretation
(other than writing python/etc scripts) would be to create a VRT file - and
XML header of sorts - and adjust the band color interpretation in this.

Best regards,
