Are you trying to flash the DFU image/bootloader using DFU? This is not possible (at least not with this DFU implementation).
The DFU bootloader only allows to conveniently (re)flash the main application image. The DFU image can't overwrite itself.
Once the DFU bootloader is working and fulfilling its purpose (flashing the main firmware/application) there is no need to re-flash it.
If you are developing on the DFU image you will have to flash it using SAMBA
