Yes, as Hatari says:
FDC type III command 'write track' is not supported with ST/MSA files

Use STX image file instead.


As to writing tracks to ST image...  Disk image geometry obviously
needs to match what the writer is trying/going to put put to the disk
(so that it doesn't try to overwrite past image size), but if
that is true, I think Hatari could just extract sector contents
from track data and write them to places that would correspond
to the them with current disk geometry.
