Hi,

I suppose that the command is planned to take the burn value either from an
attribute with -a or from user given values with -burn. Your command has -a
and two -burn parameters. You do not have -b parameters for defining the
bands. I recommend to read http://www.gdal.org/gdal_rasterize.html again and
test with the first example command. Once you see that it works change the
parameters one by one to fine tune the result.
