I tried your script fragment and it worked for me. I grabbed pretty much the whole root filesystem. The the fragment looks good, so I would expect it to work. Don't know what to tell you.

gd_rewrite_fragment
gd_rewrite_fragment(3) GETDATA gd_rewrite_fragment(3)
NAME
gd_rewrite_fragment -- re-write a dirfile format specification fragment
SYNOPSIS
#include <getdata.h>
int gd_rewrite_fragment(DIRFILE *dirfile, int fragment);
DESCRIPTION
The gd_rewrite_fragment() writes the format specification fragment specified by fragment to disk, regardless of whether it has changed or
not, overwriting the existing file.
In addition to being simply a valid fragment index, fragment may also be the special value GD_ALL_FRAGMENTS, which indicates that all frag-
ments should be rewritten.
Metadata is written to disk using the current Standards Version as stored in the dirfile object. See gd_dirfile_standards(3) to change or
report the current Standards Version. If the dirfile metadata conforms to no known Standards Version, a Standards non-compliant fragment
will be written.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned and the dirfile error is set to a non-zero error value. Possible error values are:
GD_E_ACCMODE
The supplied dirfile was opened in read-only mode.
GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
The supplied dirfile was invalid.
GD_E_BAD_INDEX
The supplied fragment index was out of range.
GD_E_FLUSH
A temporary file could not be opened into which to write the modified metadata, or renaming the temporary file over the original
fragment failed.
GD_E_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error occurred in the library while trying to perform the task. This indicates a bug in the library. Please report
the incident to the maintainer.
The dirfile error may be retrieved by calling gd_error(3). A descriptive error string for the last error encountered can be obtained from
a call to gd_error_string(3).
BUGS
When writing metadata using Standards Version 4 or earlier, the reference field may change, owing to the lack of a /REFERENCE directive. A
work-around is to upgrade to Standards Version 5 or later.
