If you upgraded the STK500 firmware, you may have changed of 
communication protocol with
it (if you use the latest avrstudio, then you did it). If so you need to 
use avrude with the 'avrisp2'
programmer type, and it's supported only from avrdude -5.0 (you must 
grab the cvs source at the
moment and recompile avrdude yourself)
