If your programmer is this one:

  http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=2726

Then you need to use -dprog=stk500.

Uisp thinks that avrisp is a parallel programmer along the lines of the

The avrisp option was added to uisp as a parallel programmer before
Atmel started selling the AVRISP product. The naming is unfortunately
confusing.
