Programming through AVaRICE command-line options is deprecated
(use AVRDUDE for this), and no longer maintained.

Command 0x13 is a chip erase (your -e option), and response
0xaa is "Illegal command".  Offhand, I've got no idea why
PDI won't be willing to chip erase, but simply drop it.
Program using AVRDUDE, and/or update the flash using GDB's
"load" command.
