Dan, sorry I should have made that clear. I'm using the ftdi cable (5v version) and I'm doing the reset by hand. Tying it low then trying to program. Though I don't know why avrdude can't do it.
I used libusb to write a test program to test all the pins of the ftdi cable, and can use all the 4 pins as outputs (didn't test inputs). However, avrdude can't seem to make full use of all the pins so I skipped reset as I can do this easily myself.
