Did you try "1581 ?" like with most amigaos commands it gives you the template. also there is an html document explaining how to use it in the archive but basically you do "1581 0 file" to read from disk 0. add "write" to the commandline to write the image.

the c0: device does not need to be mounted to read/write images.

Just tried to write the d81 to a floppy and got the same error reading the image file. The disk still didn't work in the 1581, and if I mounted C0: the disk was readable as a 1581 disk but empty, though if I tried to carry out any functions on the disk (load $, or save a basic programme to it) I got error 74 drive not ready on the 1581 error channel.

I have tested the program a moment ago with a d81 image. It works fine. Your path to the image must be incorrect to get the "error reading the image file". The program has bad error detection and writes its buffer whether it read in the image or not, however it does work giving it a correct image path.
