Hello 

First of all each programmer must have an ID that is not used before.

programmer
  id    = "ere-avrisp";
  desc  = "ERE AVR ISP"
  type  = par;
  reset = 4;
  sck   = 3;
  mosi  = 2;
  miso  = 10;
;

Have you used AVRDude before with success on the same computer?
What operating system are you using?

As far as I can see you can just ignore CONT.
